Fishing licence (abalone dive) holders and supervisors are required to report all commercial abalone fishing activity as a condition of their licence.
Digital reporting
As building of the mobile app for catch and effort reporting for the commercial abalone fishing industry continues, work has begun on a Digital Reporting System (DRS) to provide an alternative to telephone reporting.
The app will speed-up reporting with additional benefits such as saved favourites, real time information exchange, and a faster, more refined process.
Logbook reporting
Licence holders and supervisors with a Fishing Licence (Abalone Dive) entitlement will be sent the combined Commercial Abalone Dive Docket, Diving Team Docket and Transfer Docket books.
Instructions and examples
Instructions and a completed example are available for each commercial abalone fishery zone.
