Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument caps total fishing gear in Australia’s Northern Prawn Fishery for five years (Mar 2005–Mar 2010) by requiring all boats holding gear statutory fishing rights to share a combined maximum of 3,028.725 metres of operational headrope. It applies to commercial NPF fishers and matters because it limits aggregate netting power to curb overfishing and support sustainable prawn stocks, replacing an earlier Direction.
