Dr Warwick Gullett - Fisheries Law in Australia

Dr Warwick Gullett has recently published the first comprehensive analysis of Australian fisheries law. Fisheries Law in Australia provides a clear account of the key areas of law that shape the present highly complex regulatory environment in which commercial, recreational, indigenous and ornamental fishing takes place. These include the complicated jurisdictional arrangements that have evolved for the management of marine areas, the regulatory mechanisms used to manage fishing activities, enforcement experience, the enduring impact of the common law, legal recognition of indigenous fishing rights and the impact of international law on the development of measures to protect Australian fisheries from illegal foreign fishers. The book is published by leading law publisher LexisNexis Butterworths.
