Operation Nasse, a multi-country regional maritime surveillance operation between Australia, France, New Zealand and the United States of America, targeting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing on the high seas in the south Pacific Ocean, has concluded.

As part of its 2021 research funding round, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) is making its annual public call for applications to address research priorities identified for potential AFMA funding in 2021-22.

The Commission met for its 72nd meeting via teleconference on 8 July 2020.

Around the Australia coastline, there are 58 Australian Marine Parks, managed by Parks Australia.

Typically, these parks are made up of two or more zone types, each with its own rules. When you’re out fishing, it is important that you’re aware of the parks, their zones and how the rules of a zone might impact on your activities.
