Danish seining in NSW

A detailed review into Danish seining in NSW has been undertaken in response to concerted lobbying by concerned commercial fishers, the large number of issues raised and the potential seriousness of some of those issues.  The following report includes relevant background information and the findings.  It sets the scene for further industry discussion and in some cases further action. To keep you up to date, any new information on Danish seining in NSW or more importantly commercial access to the primary species of interest, including Eastern school whiting, will be available from this webpage.  Please check it regularly and contact Darren Hale, Senior Fisheries Manager, on (02) 6645 0503 if you require further information.
