Cooperation: Regional

Australia works closely with its near neighbours to promote regional fisheries cooperation. 

Regular bilateral meetings are held to address issues such as:

  • shared stocks management
  • illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, and
  • fisheries and aquaculture development.

Australia also has a number of bilateral agreements or arrangements with neighbouring countries (see links below) to ensure the sustainable use of shared resources.
