The Value of Coastal Fisheries in NSW
The NSW industry adds significant value to New South Wales and Australia. The industry helps support a strong local and national economy, contributes to education and skills transfer through knowledge handed down through generations. The NSW industry is historically and culturally important with many of our fishers descending from traditional fishing families going past 5 generations, adding value to our community. Our fishers are actively involved in keeping NSW marine environments clean and healthy for the future generations to enjoy and to continue to provide fresh local seafood to our community and other markets.
