Meetings and consultation
What do the committees do?
These committees provide advice to the PZJA on the scientific and economic status of fish stocks, sub stocks, species (target and non-target species) and on the impacts of fishing on the marine environment. Advice provided by the committees must be evidence based and address biological, economic and wider ecological factors affecting the performance of the fishery. Advice and recommendations from committees must align with PZJA’s pursuit of its legislative objectives. Each fishery is covered by either a management advisory committee (MAC) or Working Group (WG) or working group, which provide advice on management decisions relevant to the fishery. Resource Assessment Groups (RAGs) provide more specific detailed scientific advice related to harvest strategies and stock assessments.
