1 July 2026, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries must provide outcomes of a review of the multi-species basket total allowable commercial catch limit for all "other species" of sea cucumbers in the Queensland Sea Cucumber Fishery (East Coast) to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

Condition 12

By 1 July 2025, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries (QDPI) and the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) must continue efforts to support coordination of monitoring and management of straddling or otherwise linked sea cucumber stocks in the Commonwealth Coral Sea Fishery, Torres Strait Bêche-de-mer Fishery, and Queensland Sea Cucumber Fishery (East Coast). This may include review and further development of harvest strategy frameworks and fishery reference points; temporal and spatial closures; minimum size limits; rotational zone size, timing and move-on provisions; research into life history parameters; Management Strategy Evaluation; and conversion ratios across all three fisheries to reduce risk to species in the region.

Condition 13

By 1 July 2027, the Queensland Department of Primary Industries must review existing spatial management arrangements to evaluate whether these arrangements are sufficient to manage the risk of localised depletion of sea cucumbers in the Queensland Sea Cucumber Fishery (East Coast).
