GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE PARK REGULATIONS 1983 - REG 8

         (1)   The Authority may accredit a harvest fishery for the Zoning Plan by notice in the Gazette if it is satisfied that the management arrangements for the fishery under Queensland fisheries legislation provide a sound basis for an ecologically sustainable harvest fishery in an area that is part of, or includes a part of, the Marine Park.

               (b)    the compliance arrangements for the fishery are not adequate, or are not being adequately enforced.
