Estimating the economic contribution of recreational fishing by Queenslanders to Queensland
The Queensland Sustainable Fisheries Strategy (SFS) (2017–2027) sets out a comprehensive reform plan with a number of actions which will improve the management of Queensland’s fisheries. With respect to monitoring our fisheries, the SFS requires Fisheries Queensland to monitor economic and social indicators from Queensland’s fisheries including the recreational sector. The intention is that this information will help Fisheries Queensland to better understand the economics of each fishery and understand the economics of the different sectors being commercial, charter, Indigenous and recreational. This requires that the economic indicators be comparable among the different sectors.
