19.01.2022 The NSW Ocean Trawl Fishery endorses seabird friendly fishing practices! Research has shown the NSW Ocean Trawl Fishery has minimal interactions with seabirds. To ensure the NSW Ocean Trawl Fishery remains seabird friendly into the future, NSW trawl fishers have worked with OceanWatch Australia and NSW DPI Fisheries to develop seabird management plans for individual vessels that describe a range of operational and physical measures to prevent interactions. The voluntary adop...tion of these measures by fishers demonstrates that with collaboration between fishers, scientist and decision makers, simple practical solutions can be implemented to ensure fisheries are sustainably managed.
