- Summary:
-
"Fisheries on the Great Barrier Reef (the Reef) provide an important source of income, nutrition, recreation and cultural development for many regional communities in Queensland. However, fishing can impact the Reef and the communities it supports. Removal of key predators and herbivores, incidental catch of threatened species, post-release effects on discarded species, fishing of spawning aggregations and illegal fishing have all been identifed as risks to reef fish populations. Despite significant reforms in management of Queensland's fisheries resources, such as the mandatory use of bycatch reduction devices by trawlers and the setting of total allowable commercial catch limits for some species, the 2019 Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report concluded that fishing continues to be a threat to the future vitality of the Reef. Understanding the status of fish stocks and fishing activities is important in ensuring effective andsustainable management of the Reef and its assets. This report provides a suite of recommendations for monitoring fishery systems as part of the Reef 2050 Integrated Monitoring and Reporting Program (RIMReP)"--Executive summary.
