Subsidies and Countervailing Measures G/SCM/N/343/AUS Australia 2019 Sustainable fisheries management Grants and direct payments Fisheries Fisheries Assistance and User Engagement Package.
Environment related objective
Five new Australian Marine Park management plans covering 44 Australian Marine Parks came into effect on 1 July 2018. These management plans set out how the marine parks will be managed over the next 10 years including through zoning arrangements that both protect Australia's marine environment and support Australia's sustainable commercial fishing sector. The new management plans have significantly reduced the impacts on commercial fishers but the package is designed to provide assistance to those commercial fishers directly affected by the new management arrangements.

The Package provides:
i. Fishing Business Assistance Grant – assistance to affected commercial fishers with a recent history of fishing in Australian Marine Parks as they adjust their business to the new operating environment.
ii. Marine Parks Grant – to help marine users and industries engage in marine park management. The first round of the element of the package closed on 12 March 2019. The second round will open in the second half of 2019.
iii. Vessel Monitoring System Assistance – support to encourage uptake of vessel monitoring systems. This element is being progressed through Parks Australia and fisheries management agencies.
iv. Coral Sea Fishery Licence Buy-out – direct assistance to commercial fishers holding either trawl or trap endorsements in the Commonwealth managed Coral Sea Fishery through a voluntary licence buy-back based on the closure of 99.8 per cent of the fishery to these methods.
Measure description Coverage of the measure
