Our aim is to effectively deter illegal fishing in the Australian Fishing Zone. The rules and regulations of Commonwealth fisheries are designed to protect our fish for the future, the properties rights of our fishers and the broader marine environment.
AFMA and the fishing industry are committed to making sure fishing activities have as little impact on protected species and the marine environment as possible. Find out more about our environmental focus.
