Queenslanders have another two weeks to have their say on proposed amendments to the Fisheries Regulation 2008.
Fisheries Minister Mark Furner said the proposed changes were the result of a comprehensive consultation process over the past two years as part of the Sustainable Fisheries Strategy.
“The changes focus on long-term sustainability and profitability, urgent actions to support key species, standardising fishing rules, supporting compliance and reducing red-tape,” he said.
“We are determined to build a legacy of a sustainable fishery for our children and grandchildren and these regulations are an important part of doing that.
“As at today, we have received close to 500 responses via our online survey, with the commercial, recreational, charter boat, Indigenous, seafood marketing, conservation sectors and the general public all making submissions.
Have your say by July 19.
