Monday 7 April 2025; 12midday - 12.45pm - Zoom webinar


The Government is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the Fisheries Act which target the process for making decisions on catch limits, onboard camera requirements, and landing and discard rules. EDS supports the need for more agile and responsive decision-making. However, the proposed reforms fail to address the fundamental issue – that underinvestment in fisheries research over many years has resulted in an information deficit. In that context, stronger checks and balances are needed.

Join our webinar, led by EDS Policy Director Raewyn Peart and Solicitor Tracey Turner, to learn more about the proposed changes and how to submit your feedback before the 11 April 2025 deadline. Time for questions included.
