I, the Minister for Primary Industries, in pursuance of section 221IG of the Fisheries Management Act 1994, make the following interim Order.

Dated, this 21st day of September 2004.

Explanatory note

Southern bluefin tuna is listed as an endangered species under the Fisheries Management Act 1994.

However, the Act enables the Minister to make an order authorising a class of persons to carry out an activity that may result in harm to an endangered species, population or ecological community or damage to its habitat. As an interim measure (that is, while such a proposed order is being assessed under the Act), the Minister may make an order lasting up to 6 months to allow an existing activity to be continued.

The object of this interim Order (which has effect for 6 months, starting on the date it is published in the Gazette) is to permit recreational fishers to continue to take and possess southern bluefin tuna, subject to compliance with any applicable fishing regulatory controls (for example, the daily bag limit applying in relation to the taking and possessing of southern bluefin tuna under Division 3 of Part 2 of the Fisheries Management (General) Regulation 2002).

This interim Order is made under section 221IG of the Fisheries Management Act 1994.
