The National Fisheries Plan provides a shared vision to grow Australia’s fishing and seafood sectors in a sustainable way. It does this by outlining initiatives and targets to be achieved by 2030 across 9 priority areas.
We created the Plan with state and territory governments and the seafood community.
The final Plan reflects the feedback we received through public consultation.
We thank all fishers, industry and researchers for their input to the Plan.
We will now develop an implementation framework to achieve its targets.

National Fisheries Plan Coordination Group
The National Fisheries Plan Coordination Group (the Coordination Group) was established to develop and oversee the progress of a framework to guide the implementation of initiatives for fisheries managers and sectors set by the National Fisheries Plan.
The Coordination Group is comprised of Australian governments and the commercial, recreational and First Nations fishing sectors to drive sustainable growth of the Australian fishing, aquaculture, and seafood community.
Following each meeting of the Coordination Group a communique will be released. Copies of these communiques can be downloaded below.
