This project progressed the meeting of National Priority 1 objectives for the industry, to ensure that Australian fishing and aquaculture products are sustainable and acknowledged to be so. Progress has also been made on development and standardisation within all jurisdictions to ensure consistent language and approaches to defining sustainability and responsible fisheries management practices.
