Fish for the Future

Fish for the Future describes the aims of the Department. We all need to look after our fisheries and fish habitats so that there will be fish in the sea for many years to come:

Fish forever - for our children and their children's children.
Fish for commercial purposes - for jobs and wealth for Tasmanians.
Fish for food.
Fish for fun and recreation.
And fish just to enjoy!

Fish safely and responsibly so we can have fish for the future.

How can you help?

Fish responsibly - only take what you need for a feed; and
Help others to fish responsibly by becoming a Fishcare Volunteer.

Fish For The Future Fish in the rivers Fish in the sea Fish for the Future That's how it should be Some fish are thin Some fish are fat Fish for the Future You can't beat that. Fish in the lakes Fish in the pond Fish for the future You can't go wrong. Some fish eat worms Some like eating man Fish for the future Fry 'em in a pan. Some are called mullet Some are called trout Fish for the future Hook another out. Tidy up the lines And put away the gear We need fish for the future For many many years.
