The $980 levy applies to each such endorsement granted under the Fisheries Act 1952

Who it affects:

Commercial fishers operating boats in the Western Deep-Water Trawl Fishery who need permission to use restricted fishing methods

Why it matters:

It establishes the cost for exemptions from standard fishing prohibitions in this specific fishery, creating a permit system for restricted deep-water trawling activities
