Community engagement

Supporting the recreational fishing community

The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) supports, educates and consults with the South Australian fishing community and stakeholders.

This helps us make better decisions, policies, programs and use of resources.

About community engagement

PIRSA engages, educates and supports the South Australian recreational fishing community through:

Recreational fishing survey 2021–22

Recreational fishing surveys help:

  • protect and sustain South Australia's community-shared fish stocks
  • assess the sustainability of SA's fishing resources.

Surveys also give fishery managers the information they need to make sure there are healthy fish stocks into the future.
