The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) is seeking applications for the position of Chairperson on the Scallop Management Advisory Committee (ScallopMAC). The position will be a three year term from 1 January 2018 to 30 December 2020.
Management Advisory Committees are statutory bodies that provide AFMA with management advice. They report to the AFMA Commission on policy and operational matters, where relevant, relating to the management of Commonwealth fisheries, including scientific, research and other information about the status of fish stocks and the impact of fishing on the marine environment.
MAC advice is used to inform AFMA’s management decisions and records from past meetings can be found at afma.gov.au.
