The rules protect quota integrity and support sustainable, transparent management of the fishery."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021","history":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2021/documents"}}
