Description
In this submission to IFAAC, the Department will outline what it believes are the most practical and cost effective ways of managing a system of allocation amongst the commercial, customary and recreational sectors. This recommendation recognises that cost efficiencies and outcomes will be greatly affected by the type of allocation model that is chosen. Consequently the Department recommends that the allocation system should be based on a single allocation to each sector that is available over the entire fishery.
The Department does not recommend having any finer scale zoning of the allocations, or the creation of exclusive recreational fishing areas. These would result in significant additional management, monitoring and compliance costs. Finally, the Department recommends that a re-allocation system be developed that will enable adjustment of the resource shares in the future.
The lobster resource allocation for customary fishing is considered by the WA Government to have priority over the commercial and recreational allocations.
This submission should be read in conjunction with the 'Integrated Fisheries Management Report - Western Rock Lobster Resource - Fisheries Management Paper No. 192', February 2005.
