The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) annual public meeting will be held on Wednesday 8 March 2023 at 10:30am.
This meeting gives those interested the opportunity to meet with AFMA Commissioners and discuss AFMA’s progress in pursuing effective management of Commonwealth fisheries.
Everyone is invited to attend.
The meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams.
On registration we welcome people to submit questions or topics they would like covered during the meeting.
Recreational fishing, commercial coastal and inland fishing and aquaculture fall under State and Northern Territory management and so will not be covered in the meeting. If you are interested in attending AFMA’s public meeting, we recommend that you review AFMA’s website for information on the fisheries we manage.
