Australians want to eat their own local seafood. And its Australia's commercial fishers and marine farmers who produce seafood for them, to enjoy at home or in restaurants.

Fishers want, and need sustainable fish stocks and protection for marine biodiversity as much as any Australian.

This website outlines the commercial Fishing Industry's refinements to the South-west, North-west and North Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network Proposals. We invite you to consider how our refinements can deliver the right balance for Australians who want to continue to have a plentiful supply of local seafood and support conservation of the marine environment.

The Fishing Industry is in the process of developing refinements to the recently released proposals for the Coral Sea and Temperate East Marine Regions.
