Abstract

This Plan applies to the Spanish mackerel fishery declared under section 22 of the Act to be a managed fishery by notice published in Gazette G28 dated 17 July 1991. The objects of this Plan are to control the taking of spanish mackerel from the fishery by commercial fishing licensees, Fishing Tour Operator licensees and amateur fishers, whether taken as the principal catch or incidentally when taking fish from another fishery and whether or not the fisher releases the fish, to ensure the fishery is not endangered, detrimentally affected or overexploited by managing the fishery in accordance with the principles of ecologically sustainable development, and to encourage fishing in the fishery by maintaining the level and quality of the yield from the fishery and ensuring Aborigines, commercial fishing licensees, Fishing Tour Operator licensees and amateur fishers have adequate access to the fishery.
