Fisheries Management (General)

Amendment Regulation 2002*

under the

Fisheries Management Act 1994

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

The Hon EDWARD OBEID, M.L.C.,

Minister for Fisheries

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Fisheries Management (General)

Regulation 1995:

(a)	to provide for industry members of the Marine and Estuarine Recreational Charter Management Advisory Committee to represent 8 instead of 9 regions of the industry by combining the Solitary Islands Reserve region and the Mid North Coast and Central Coast region into one region, and
(b)	to make transitional arrangements in relation to industry membership of the Management Advisory Committee (MAC) for the estuary prawn trawl restricted fishery.

The amendments described in paragraph (b) take account of the impending closure of Botany Bay to estuary prawn trawling. The Regulation reduces the number of members of the MAC and removes the need for an election in relation to the BotanyBayestuaryprawn trawl restricted fishery representative. It provides instead for the current representative to continue as a member of the MAC until 1 May 2002, the date of closure.
