Need

This project was initiated in response to management and scientific needs for greater inclusion of recreational fisheries data for resources assessments of key recreationally caught species and for inclusion in environmental assessments of recreational fishing. This project was deemed a high priority outcome of the NSW DPI Resource Assessment Workshops in 2011, 2012 and again in 2013.

Objectives

1. Deliver independent quantitative observer-based information on the diversity, rates of capture and length compositions of species retained and released from coastal charter boats in NSW
2. Obtain quantitative information and report on the ages and age compositions of catches of key fish species harvested by the coastal charter boat fishery in NSW
3. Provide summaries of analyses of data across appropriate spatial and temporal scales
4. Deliver summary profiles of charter boat cliental to industry
5. Compare on-board observer estimates of species retained and their rates of capture with industry logbooks
6. Provide feedback to industry and management on project objectives

Tactical Research Fund: synthesis of existing information, analysis and prioritisation of future monitoring activities to confirm sustainability of the red-legged banana sub-fishery in the Joseph Boneparte Gulf

To evaluate the ecological sustainability of the at‐risk species, habitats and ecosystems impacted by the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf (JBG) sub‐fishery, we synthesized existing data and assessments, and detailed the changes that have occurred in the fishery in relation to temporal and spatial trends in...
