Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Fisheries (Torres Strait Protected Zone) area.
The Fisheries Management Act 1998 does not apply in respect of the area to which the Fisheries (Torres Strait Protected Zone) Act 1984 applies (s.3(5)); fishing in that border zone is governed separately under the PNG-Australia Torres Strait Treaty regime.
