Where Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)/zones create additional requirements for fishing effort reduction beyond that required for achieving fisheries management objectives, Australian government-funded adjustment assistance may be considered on a case-by-case basis to support the reduction in fishing effort. One example of structural adjustment in the Australian fishing industry was the 100% buy-back of Torres Strait Finfish entitlements. The day-to-day management of recreational fishing is for the most part undertaken by the state and territory governments. The main forms of management action within Australia’s recreational fisheries are: controls on gear types and amounts, size (minimum and/or maximum), sex and/or number of fish of a given species, seasonal and/or area closures, and prohibition on the sale of fish.
