View the draft of Fisheries Management Paper 1: Management Advisory Committees (PDF, 366 KB)
The revised draft incorporates updated advice on meeting governance, arrangements for obtaining and using scientific and economic information and advice, and accumulated informal advice from AFMA MAC members and chairpersons. Existing procedures and processes remain largely unchanged although it has been updated and more detail is provided for clarity in all sections of the document. This revision brings the paper up to date and makes it consistent with the Fisheries Administration Paper 12: Resource Assessment Groups which was updated in May 2014.
Comments on the draft are due by close of business 31 May 2015 to mandy.goodspeed@afma.gov.au or
