Securing our Fishing Future initiative

On 23 November 2005, the Australian government announced the $220 million Securing Our Fishing Future Initiative to help secure Commonwealth fish stocks and a profitable future for the fishing industry.

The initiative involves three major elements including a $150 million fishing licence buyback scheme and $70 million complementary assistance package, changes to Commonwealth fisheries management and proposed Marine Parks for the South-east region.
