1. Recreational fishery management proposals - WCDSR

This online submission process provides an opportunity for the Western Australian community to have their say by making a submission regarding recreational proposals to achieve revised West Coast Demersal Scalefish Resource (WCDSR) recovery benchmarks. It is imperative that the recreational fishery implements management measures to meet its revised recovery benchmark of 115 tonnes to allow the WCDSR to recover by 2030.

There are 28 questions in total relating to the proposals. Some questions have sub-sections. The initial profile questions marked with an asterisk (*) must be completed in full. All other profile questions are optional, to be completed based on the relevance of the question to you.
