Fishers invited to industry meetings



The Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol (QBFP) has announced fisheries compliance meeting dates for Brisbane to Tin Can Bay.



QBFP district manager Brett Depper said fishers are encouraged to attend to discuss compliance issues to ensure the patrol’s efforts are targeted to better protect Queensland’s fisheries.



“Meetings are being held for the trawl, line, crab, net, worm and Indigenous fisheries,” Mr Depper said.



“We encourage all commercial, recreational and Indigenous fisher representatives to attend to provide their input.



“This will ensure we are across all the issues that currently have an impact on the industry including compliance and fishing practices.



“QBFP aims to protect Queensland’s fisheries and with stakeholder input we can prioritise where to provide our assistance.”
