This Regulation, consisting of 37 sections divided into eight Parts and completed by one Schedule, implements the Fisheries Management Act 1994 by providing the management plan for the taking of fish from estuarine waters in New South Wales. The Plan aims at contributing, in conjunction with other fishing regulatory controls, to manage the impacts of the fishery on the environment, to ensure ecologically sustainable development, to provide for the survival of protected fish, and to promote viable commercial fishing. The Plan provides for regions of fishery, minimum and maximum shareholdings, endorsement conditions, species that may be taken, restrictions on areas of operation, fishing gear, rights of priority between endorsement holders in the estuary general fishery, etc.
