Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument caps the maximum headrope length — the top edge of a trawl net — for prawn trawlers in the Northern Prawn Fishery, tying allowable net size to the number of gear statutory fishing rights a vessel holds. By limiting how much net each permit lets a boat tow (with different rates for twin versus multi-net setups), it helps curb fishing capacity and reduce overfishing; it updates the previous determination.
