Title: Recreational Fishing in Australia: Review and Policy Issues
Abstract: Recreational fishing, otherwise known as angling, is both a significant resource use and a leisure activity in Australia. It has not received much scientific or policy attention, having been perceived as unimportant relative to commercial fishing and characterised by poor social, biological and economic data. Attention is increasing, however, as the ecological, economic and social significance of the activity is realised. The article briefly reviews recreational fishing and discusses the reasons why the activity has traditionally been ignored by policy‐makers and researchers. Current policy issues are identified, and a generalised framework suggested for policy and research.
