two TSPMAC meetings a year, with at least two Industry members and two traditional inhabitant members.
Engage traditional inhabitant communities in consultation processes, specifically for issues regarding economic opportunities within the fishery.

Facilitation of consultation with industry members regarding management of the TSPF.
Preparing annual budget costs associated with the fishery, setting and collecting levies and fees for the fishery.                                 Annual TSPF budget associated with managing the TSPF developed in consultation with industry.

                                                                                                                                                   Budgetary objectives for the fishery are set by end of 2009.

                                                                                                                                                   Government target for the recovery of the costs of management in relation to the TSPF are met on an annual basis.
Maintain accuracy and consistency of information kept in relation to the fishery.                                                                  Periodic review of data collected in catch and effort logbooks.
Monitoring the cost-effectiveness of, and compliance with the TSPF management arrangements.                                                        Periodic review of Compliance Risk Assessment.

                                                                                                                                                   PZJA will develop and periodically review a strategy to implement any recommendations of the compliance risk assessment of the fishery.
Increasing industry understanding of TSPF management, research and environmental matters.                                                          Development and maintenance of a Communications strategy.

                                                                                                                                                   Extension program to communicate achievements and promote TSPF as a responsible fishery in pursuing ecological sustainability developed and implemented by end of 2009.

         Objective 4 Manage the fishery's interaction with the marine environment including the incidental capture of non-target species and impacts on demersal habitats.
Measures by which objectives are to be attained                                                                           Performance criteria
Monitor the impact of fishing practices in the TSPF on non-target species and marine ecosystems.                          Development of ERA that identifies the impacts of fishing and other activities on the sustainable management of the TSPF.

                                                                                                                          Observer program data collected to assess the impacts of fishing on the sustainable management of the TSPF, non-target species and associated marine ecosystems.

                                                                                                                          Development and periodic assessment of biological reference points for key bycatch species and species of significance for traditional fishing as soon as practicable following the commencement date.

                                                                                                                          Identified critical habitats to be protected from fishing within 18 months of being identified. Facilitated by the Torres Strait Scientific Advisory Committee.

Closure/exclusion regimes that ensure critical habitats of non-target species are protected.
To ensure that bycatch levels and impacts on the ecosystem are sustainable and consistent with legislative requirements.  The level of observer coverage of effective effort in the fishery is maintained at or above a statistically robust level determined by the PZJA.

                                                                                                                          The effectiveness of bycatch reduction strategies are periodically reviewed.
Obtain information on target, by-product and discard species to determine their vulnerability to trawling.                Species biological parameters collected as part of observer and research programs.
Maintain and develop fishing gear designed to minimise impacts on the ecosystem.                                          Fishing gear, including turtle excluder devices (TED) and BRDs updated
