reporting illegal fishing activity

[glen]

Here is an extract from the recent Victorian State Budget in relation to Fisheries:



"Tougher on Fisheries Offences

The Victorian Government is committed to the protection of the State’s valuable

fish resources and the vital industries they support. Feedback from both

industry and recreational fisher representatives over time has indicated the

need for an enhanced reporting system for illegal fishing activities.

The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has been trialing a 24-hour, 7 day a

week “Statewide Fisheries Offence Reporting System”.

An investment of $1.05 million has been allocated to further enhance the pilot

hotline for reporting suspected illegal fishing activities covering the entire state."
