We are the government recognised, fully independent peak body set up to represent Tasmania’s recreational fishers. Our goal is to protect, promote and create sustainable, accessible, enjoyable and safe fishing for the benefit of Tasmanians.
We have prepared our Securing Our Fishing Futere priorities for the Tasmanian State Election on 23 March 2024. We will proactively represent recreational fishers with Tasmania’s political parties in the lead up to the election to secure commitments that will secure our fishing future.
The Minister is set to make decisions on the package of proposals in coming weeks. The draft departmental advice document was considered at RecFAC #83 on 19 July. We can’t share the specific document with you but we can share TARFish’s position on the matters considered.
The overall package of proposed management changes for recreational fishers is very restrictive and we encourage the Government to give some relief by providing alternative fishing opportunities.
There are around 100,000 fishers in Tasmania and this survey will help us better understand Tasmanian fishers, what they think and how they live their daily lives. So we really need your help.
Make your passion for recreational fishing your profession with this exciting new hands-on engagement role at TARFish.
