This report is the second Bycatch Action Plan (BAP) for the Torres Strait Prawn Fishery (TSPF). The TSPF developed the first Bycatch Action Plan in 1999 to address the ever increasing public concerns regarding prawn trawl operations and in recognition of initiatives being under taken in adjacent trawl fisheries. This version of the BAP incorporates any changes in management with regard to the management of bycatch species in the TSPF between 2000 and 2002. Refer to the published report: Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Working Group. (2002) Torres Strait Prawn Fishery Bycatch Action Plan, reviewed March 2002. AFMA, Canberra. 37pp.
