The federal environment minister will revoke the fishing license of a state-run Queensland fishery for failing to meet the conditions of the permit relating to the implementation of the Harvest Strategy it agreed to in 2018.

Environment Minister Susan Ley wrote to Queensland’s Agricultural Minister Mark Furner on Sunday, to revoke the state government’s permit for the Queensland Government-managed East Coast Inshore Fin Fish Fishery (ECIFFF) from Sept. 30.
