This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale study - "Sawfish bycatch mitigation workshop for northern Australian fisheries". The project will coordinate a workshop with state and commonwealth fishery managers, fisheries biologists, researchers, DAWE recovery plan team, NGO’s and traditional owners to understand the issues around sawfish bycatch and develop methods to improve data recording to enable estimates of sawfish catch rates. The long-term goal of the meeting is to develop a nationwide monitoring strategy for sawfish that will enable DAWE to assess the status of sawfish and assess the effectiveness of the recovery plan actions and whether mitigation measures are having an impact on sawfish populations. Outputs • Final technical report with analysed data and a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written] • A graphical summary of the workshops was developed by Dr Sue Pillians [images].
