Resource Sharing in Australian Fisheries Workshop - Progress to Date, Lessons Learnt and Next Steps towards a harmonised approach

Over the past 20 years individual Australian jurisdictions have developed and implemented resource sharing arrangements. Various policies and statutes have been implemented in an effort to allocate shares of a fish stock, but resource sharing efforts have been contentious, costly and drawn out in nature. In addition, resource sharing arrangements are only starting to confront stocks which cross both jurisdictions and fishing sectors. To address these complexities, this project aims to work to find common ground on resource sharing across Australian jurisdictions and encourage the benefits of working towards a harmonised approach.
