2009 Shark Assessment Report for the Australian National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks

In March 2010, the then Bureau of Rural Sciences (now Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences) prepared the 2009 Shark Assessment Report. This report identifies significant changes that have occurred in fisheries since the release of the '2001 Shark Assessment Report' and identifies new and ongoing issues that should be considered in the context of the National Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks. The information presented in the report is based on a compilation of reports provided by Commonwealth, state and territory fishery management agencies, research reports and expert opinion.
