Australia negotiates its share of the global catch through international conservation agreements. This document formally writes Australia's share into domestic law, making it legally enforceable against fishers.\n*   **Legal backing:** It's made under the *Fisheries Management Act 1991* and the *Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery Management Plan 1995*, which give the government power to set these limits to prevent overfishing and ensure the species' recovery."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023","history":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-australia-s-national-catch-allocation-determination-2023/documents"}}
