In 2019, the Fisheries Act was amended to implement measures to ensure that species in the critical zone are well and sustainably managed.

These changes mean we now have a regulatory obligation to have rebuilding plans for prescribed fish stocks. I believe we'll have robust rebuilding plans for a number of fish stocks that are in the critical zone ready by April 4, which is just a few weeks away.
