The Australian Fisheries Management Forum (AFMF) is an informal network for sharing information and enhancing collaboration between state, territory and federal government fishery management agencies. It is not a decision-making body.
The AFMF national statement of intent (PDF, 103KB) outlines the management and policy directions that fishery agencies will work towards.
The heads of these agencies are members of the forum, with observers from relevant bodies (including the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation).
Queensland currently administers AFMF and is chaired by Pauline Jacob, the Deputy Director-General of Fisheries and Forestry within our department.
