The Commission met for its 63rd meeting in Canberra on 5-6 September 2018. Key decisions and discussions by the Commission at its meeting included:

I understand that the Australian Marine Conservation Society and Save Our Marine Life recently commenced a joint campaign about the Australian Fisheries Management Authority’s (AFMA’s) draft transhipping policy. AFMA is currently seeking public comments on the draft transhipping policy and guidelines regarding the authorisation of transhipping activities in Commonwealth fisheries. The AFMA Commission will consider all public submissions before it decides whether to accept, amend or reject the policy.
