The Purse Seine Management Advisory Committee has met Once:
28 June 2006
As a general rule this particular MAC has only met when there are a sufficient number of issues to discuss or if there is a particular issue that the department needs to take to the committee in order to affect a management change.
The management of the Purse Seine fishery is fairly static at the moment.Quotas are set at conservative levels to ensure sustainability, but relatively low industry activity means that the quotas (with the Exception of Albany) are not being exhausted by the end of the season.

As a general rule this particular MAC has only met when there are a sufficient number of issues to discuss or if there is a particular issue that the department needs to take to the committee in order to affect a management change.
The shark fishery has just undergone a major review in response to sustainability concerns. A number of the recommendations made by the MAC, which I have approved are in the process of being implemented. The MAC will most likely convene when the new management arrangements have been finalised.
