Overview
Vessel monitoring systems are a widely used and effective tool to help fishers understand and follow marine park rules.
The Director of National Parks is proposing to mandate vessel monitoring systems on commercial fishing vessels that operate in or transit Australian Marine Parks from mid-2024.
Consultation on the proposed requirement for vessel monitoring systems in Australian Marine Parks closed on 26 May 2023. The Director of National Parks is currently considering comments received and thanks everyone who took the time to provide their feedback.
