Wallis Lake Estuary Management Plan Management Objective Ensure that local Aboriginal communities have the opportunity to share in the Wallis Lake fisheries resources and participate in fisheries resource management issues F.4 Management Area A, B, C, D, E, F Action Action Indicative Priority Responsibilities Progress No Cost F.4.1 Evaluate the Indigenous fisheries strategy and implementation plan Staff time Immediate (A2) WLEMIC , DPI, Forster ALC, Comments The Indigenous fisheries strategy and implementation plan outlines key strategies to: • encourage a broad community understanding of Indigenous traditional cultural fishing issues in NSW • ensure that the importance of traditional cultural fishing is acknowledged in fisheries policy and practices, and during discussions on fisheries resources management issues • encourage and support the involvement of Indigenous communities in the management of the state’s fisheries resources, and • encourage and support the involvement of Indigenous communities in commercial fishing, fishing based eco-tourism, and the emerging aquaculture industry. (NSW DPI 2002) The Indigenous fisheries strategy and implementation plan represents an important change in the fishing regulations that have previously been imposed on Aboriginal communities. However, it does not recognise the different fishing techniques and targeted species particular to certain regions. Hence it is recommended that a regional supplement be undertaken to specifically deal with the Wallis Lake region. 54
