The Scalefish Fishery Advisory Committee advises the Minister on issues relating to the commercial scalefish fishery.
Meetings
There are generally four SFAC meetings each year, depending on the work schedule and current issues. Most meetings are held in Hobart and are held over a full day. From time to time regional meetings may be held to provide an opportunity for wider industry to meet committee members and get involved in the committee process.
SFAC meetings are not generally open for casual observers, however the FAC may hold an open session prior to a meeting or the Chair may invite people to attend a specific agenda item where appropriate.
