This determination converts Australia’s international quota into a domestic legal limit, ensuring the country meets its treaty obligations while managing the fishery sustainably."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022","history":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2022/documents"}}
