Description
This qualification specifies the competencies relevant to people working at a local level in a support role to an agency or organisation that has legislated responsibility for the management of fisheries, both wild catch and aquaculture.
Job role
Typically, the qualification will have application for people in Indigenous Australian communities who strive for environmentally sustainable usage of the fisheries, and marine and freshwater environments in their regions.
The Certificate II in Fisheries Compliance Support has been developed for observers who can report on change and suspected non-compliance using only observable evidence as can be recorded, such as photographs and global positioning system (GPS) readings.
