Frequently asked questions
Why has the Commercial Abalone Dive Docket, Diving Team Docket Book and Transfer & Commercial Abalone Dive Docket (additional quota details) Book been combined?
Where a diver can deal with excess abalone by transferring to another diver at the landing site, they were required to complete a transfer docket as well as the Abalone Dive Docket and Diving Team Docket. This required Fisheries staff to wait until four dockets were returned before the transaction can be completed. By adding the transfer docket to the Abalone Dive Docket and Diving Team docket, the diver does not have to duplicate information and carry an additional book.
