About the assessment report
The Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) has submitted a document for assessment under Parts 13 and 13A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The draft document Ecological Assessment of the Queensland East Coast Otter Trawl Fishery (the submission) was received by the Department of the Environment and Heritage (DEH) in November 2002.
