flag Recreational snapper and dhufish fishing banned on WA’s coast until 2027 to save endangered fish stocks.

flag Recreational fishing for snapper and dhufish is banned along Western Australia’s Perth and South West coast until September 2027 to protect severely depleted demersal fish stocks, including species at risk of extinction. flag A permanent commercial fishing ban will take effect January 1, 2026, across nearly 900 km of the west coast, with licence buybacks and reduced catch limits in other regions. flag The state is investing $29.2 million in recovery, including support for fishers and recreational anglers, and will establish a new advisory council. flag The measures aim to restore fish populations and ensure long-term sustainability amid concerns over overfishing and ecosystem damage.
