| Description: |
The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) is the statutory authority responsible for the efficient management of Commonwealth fishery resources on behalf of the Australian community. AFMA manages fisheries on the high seas, within the 200 nautical mile Australian Fishing Zone (AFZ) and, in some cases, by agreement with the States to the low water mark. In doing so, AFMA provides management, advisory, compliance and licensing services and implements appropriate fisheries management arrangements.
The resources managed by AFMA are important community assets. They support significant commercial fishing activity, growing levels of recreational fishing and some subsistence and traditional fishing.
AFMA employs approximately 110 staff and is based in Canberra with a small office located on Thursday Island in north Queensland. However, staff are constantly visiting fisheries all around the Australian coastline.
