Fishcare Tasmania

Operational Report 2012/13

Document Summary

Fishcare encourages fishers to fish responsibly, improve fish survival through correct handling and only take what they need for a feed. The methods used to distribute this information are educational and communications programs.

The educational program is divided between specific in-school presentations and activities associated with the broader community. The communications activities are aimed at larger audiences, but these two activities occasionally overlap.
