Estuary general fishery closures

The Estuary General Share Management Plan and Supporting Plan now give effect to some fishing closures that were previously notified under section 8 of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 and in addition to the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2010, contain provisions relating to the types of fishing gear that may be used in the fishery. Some fishing closures remain as section 8 notifications.

The estuarine waters within each region of the fishery are set out in the Estuary General Share Management Plan.

Fishers are advised to familiarise themselves with the relevant fisheries legislation and be aware that other restrictions on fishing operations may apply in Marine Protected Areas.
