Book now for TARFish session on scalefish position

We are seeking feedback from recreational fishers on our draft position to help us shape a final position that accurately reflects the views of recreational fishers.

We are holding our first feedback session (online) on Wednesday 10 May from 7-8 pm, and would love to hear from you.

You can register for this feedback session via this link.

Spots for the session are limited, but we will roll out more sessions as necessary to match the demand.

Please be aware that this session is designed to provide feedback on TARFish's draft position and is not a Public Information Session on the proposed scalefish rules.

We received some great feedback from fishers that visited us at agfest and look forward to continuing to build on the momentum through these feedback sessions. Thank you to everyone that visited us at the Fishing Hub at agfest and we have taken your feedback on board.

If you are unable to attend this session, you can also email us at info@tarfish.org to provide your feedback.

More about the survey

There are around 100,000 fishers in Tasmania and this survey will help us better understand Tasmanian fishers, what they think and how they live their daily lives. So we really need your help.

Results are gathered by the independent research company and no individual results will be provided to TARFish.

When finished, the research findings will be publicly available its all about you so we want to make sure you have easy access to it.

The findings of the research project will be used to guide how we, as your peak body, can best represent your rights and interests for better decisions and better outcomes for recreational fishers. You can use it however you like!

If you want your voice heard, be quick! You have until 11.49pm Wednesday 31 May, 2023. Click here to read more and complete the survey!
