and increased concentration of #FishingPressure in areas like the #Daly and #Roper River regions.

- Phase-out commercial #gillnetting and implement alternative fishing methods that pose less risk to #EndangeredSpecies, such as line-caught barramundi.

- Install cameras on all of the fishing fleet by the end of 2024 to monitor the #bycatch of endangered species.

This year, areas like the #RoperRiver, are being exposed to the highest #FishingPressure in a decade.

Localised extinction for sawfish and river sharks is a real threat, with females giving birth in the same #rivers they were born in .

The window to save these species is rapidly closing. Urge the NT Fisheries Minister, Hon #MarkMonaghan, to take action now.
