Description
Summary:Sustainable management of natural resources requires robust and timely information inputs, particularly in multispecies or cross‐jurisdictional fisheries such as the Murray‐Darling Basin's (MDB) recreational fishery. Innovative data collection and monitoring approaches, management tools and cooperative efforts enable the requirements of fisheries managers to be met efficiently and cost‐effectively. This paper considers a number of pioneering initiatives operationalised under the Native Fish Strategy that have helped inform sustainable management outcomes for the recreational fishery in the MDB.
