| Foreword |
| The release of the Fishery Economic Status Report brings together available indicators of the economic performance of each Commonwealth fishery managed by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). The indicators are central to AFMA, industry and community assessments of fisheries performance and AFMA’s performance in pursuit of its objective of maximising economic efficiency in fisheries management. Many regional communities rely on fisheries being sustainable and profitable for their livelihood, and the wider community expects Commonwealth resources to be managed effectively over time. This report can be used in conjunction with the Bureau of Rural Sciences Fishery Status Reports for an indication of the biological and economic health of Australian Government managed fisheries. |
