About the submission
The current export approval for the Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria Inshore Fin Fish Fishery is valid until 26 August 2007 and the fishery is now due for assessment for ongoing export accreditation. The Department of the Environment and Water Resources received a submission - Annual Status Report 2005 - Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria Inshore Fin Fish Fishery (February 2006), Annual Status Report - Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria Inshore Fin Fish Fishery (October 2006) and Annual Status Report 2007 - Queensland Gulf of Carpentaria Inshore Fin Fish Fishery from the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries. The submission has been prepared to address the Australian Government Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries (the Guidelines) and to provide updates on the implementation of recommendations made in the original assessment. The submission will be used to assess the operation of the fishery for the purposes of Parts 13 and 13A of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).
