[Fisheries Victoria response] The CFMP may benefit by clarifying that some Fisheries Regulations have been changed for ethical or cultural reasons that preserve fish stocks beyond a sciencebased need to protect a fish stock from over fishing. [Action] Plan amended
The CFMP incorrectly suggests the Fisheries Regulations are fisherdriven for ethical or cultural reasons rather than scientific reasons. Defining this push as 'ethical' or 'cultural' alone is possibly misleading and it is suggested that presenting the push for more conservative limits coming from a justifiably cautious position, without contrasting it with the scientific position, may be less misleading.
