The Minister for Fisheries
intends to determine a new Harvest Strategy for the prawn resource in Shark Bay
and invites interested persons to comment on the Draft Harvest Strategy.
The publication of a harvest
strategy for an aquatic resource makes decision making considerations and
processes publicly transparent and provides a basis for informed dialogue on management
actions with resource users and other stakeholders.
The Draft Prawn Resource of Shark Bay Harvest Strategy 2022-2027 contains
specific objectives, performance indicators, reference levels and harvest
control rules for the defined ecological asset and is now available for review.
Interested persons seeking to
comment on the Draft Harvest Strategy are invited to make representation in
writing by 5:00 pm 31 May 2022 to:
Griffin Grounds
Draft Prawn Resource of
Shark Bay Harvest Strategy 2022-2027
Department of Primary Industries
and Regional Development
