Compliance Strategies
 |
| Front cover of the National Compliance Strategy 2010 - 2015 |
The Australian Fisheries National Compliance Strategy 2010-2015 outlines the objectives that Australian fisheries agencies will pursue to promote voluntary compliance and create deterrence to illegal fishing activity. It also outlines the principles that agencies will use when planning cost-effective and efficient fisheries compliance programs. The Strategy complements the National Plan of Action against illegal unreported and unregulated fishing.
The Strategy acknowledges the differences in operating environments across jurisdictions however a standard approach is provided to achieve an optimal level of compliance. Key elements of the Strategy include education, advisory and extension programs.
This document will be used as a reference in developing local compliance strategies and plans thus ensuring a consistent approach to fisheries compliance throughout Australia.
