The Protected Zone Joint Authority (PZJA) is responsible for management of commercial and traditional fishing in the Australian area of the Torres Strait Protected Zone (TSPZ) and designated adjacent Torres Strait waters. Commercial fishing is one of the most economically important activities in the Torres Strait Protected Zone (TSPZ) and provides a significant opportunity for financial independence for community fishers. The individual fisheries include prawn, tropical rock lobster, spanish mackerel, barramundi, pearl shell, dugong and turtle, finfish, crab, trochus and sea cucumber (beche-de-mer).
