Recreational Fishing Saltwater Trust Expenditure Committee
The Recreational Fishing Saltwater Trust Expenditure Committee (RFSTEC) gives recreational fishers along the coast an opportunity to have input into how their licence money is spent.
By law, all revenue raised by the new recreational fishing fee is being placed into two Trusts dedicated to recreational fishing - one for saltwater fishing and the other for freshwater fishing.
Together with the Recreational Fishing Freshwater Trust Expenditure Committee (RFFTEC), the saltwater angler committee plays an important role in the management of our fisheries resources. The two angler committees consider expenditure priorities and community proposals for the Trusts.
The new committee is made up of members representing eight regions along the entire NSW coast, and key stakeholders including major recreational fishing groups. The Committee brings together recreational fishers with a wide variety of expertise in the recreational fishing sector.
