Description

The former Minister for Fisheries asked the Rock Lobster Industry Advisory Committee (RLIAC) to provide him with a business case for a quota management system (QMS) in the West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery, following renewed interest from industry for the introduction of a QMS. The business case consists of two components:

1. a management paper that describes the proposed quota management settings; and

2. an interactive spreadsheet financial model for licensees to explore the impact of the proposed management settings on their business. A RLIAC Working Group was established by RLIAC to develop the proposed QMS settings. Most of the Working Group’s proposals were adopted by the RLIAC.

This paper provides 48 recommendations for a proposed QMS and 12 additional considerations to be annually reviewed, should a QMS be adopted for the West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery.
