Science, sustainability and the future of WA Fisheries

Hon Amanda Dorn MLC speaks in the Western Australian Parliament on the future of WA's demersal fish stocks, including dhufish, pink snapper and baldchin groper.

Drawing on independent scientific evidence, Amanda argues that precautionary management is necessary to rebuild depleted populations, protect marine ecosystems and ensure healthy oceans for future generations.

The speech highlights the importance of science-based decision-making, ecological stewardship and recognising fish as sentient animals deserving of consideration and protection.
