Description
This paper is designed to encourage stakeholder involvement in a review of the existing Department of Fisheries' Register, and development of a concept for a new Unit 1 Register, under the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 (FRMA). It is not a fisheries management proposal but a proposal dealing with the facilitation of the fishing licence business. Comments are sought from all stakeholders, including commercial fishers, recreational fishers, banks, accountants, lawyers, third party investors and brokers.
The comments gathered through the responses to this 'issues paper' will form the basis for the Unit Register Working Group to develop the concept of a unit register further. The proposals developed will then be incorporated into a 'discussion paper', which will again be distributed for stakeholder and public comment. The final proposal, incorporating feedback from the discussion paper, will be submitted to the Minister for Fisheries for final consideration.
The fishery proposed to be a pilot for the new unit register proposal is the West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery, but the proposal is likely to extend over time to other unitised commercial fisheries. At this first stage of the consultation process we are seeking your thoughts on your particular needs for a commercial fishing unit register and the specific issues you or your group need to have addressed.
