AFTA: PROTECTING FISHING’S FUTURE
We strive to protect the future of recreational fishing by consistently engaging with political leaders at all levels of government. AFTA provides detailed submissions to the government on various issues, reflecting the concerns of our members.
Our goal is to achieve robust, well-considered, and equitable policy outcomes that either benefit or minimise the negative impact on the recreational fishing industry.
