Aboriginal Fishing Survey for the East Gippsland Fishery Management Plan
This survey will help with a new Fishery Management Plan for East Gippsland. It would be very helpful if you would fill out this survey so we can have your thoughts on fishing in the East Gippsland Region.
The Gippsland Lakes, Lake Tyres and Mallacoota Inlet will not be included in this Plan.
Before continuing please view the map of the East Gippsland area showing the area covered by the management plan.
Your input is appreciated and vital.
Surveys should be completed by 13 November 2009
If you have any further questions, please contact the Fisheries Victoria Fisheries Resource Planning Unit on 03 9658 4377 or by e-mail at [email protected].
A PDF version of this survey is available at www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fishing.
Please note that as part of our commitment to provide an open consultation process, all written comments, our subsequent decisions and the reasons for reaching these decisions will be published on the DPI website.
