AFMA

AFMA, or the Australian Fisheries Management Authority, is a government agency responsible for ensuring sustainable fishing practices in Australian waters. Its goal is to balance the economic benefits of fishing with the need to protect marine ecosystems. AFMA sets rules, issues permits, monitors fishing activities, and enforces regulations to prevent overfishing and ensure fish populations remain healthy for future generations. Think of it as a steward that manages fishing industries, making sure they operate responsibly and sustainably, while supporting Australia's fishing economy and marine environment.
