Details

Requirement R050

Provide further evidence to understand the direct and indirect effects of implementing the days at sea scheme.

Requirement detail

Understanding the direct and indirect impacts of implementing the days at sea scheme and incorporating a cost benefit assessment of this approach to effort management, would help further inform fisheries management decisions.

This work is important to ensure the Marine Management Organisation continues to meet its obligation as an enabling requlator. Of particular interest are the impacts on vessel activity and fleet size over an extended period in relation to western waters (scallopers and crabbers).
