Tasmanian Association for Recreational Fishing chief executive Jane Gallichan urged fishers to submit their comment on the draft strategy released by Primary Industries minister Guy Barnett.

"It is so important to submit. It is going to be a long time before we are going to change the strategy so it is really important that recreational fishers sit down, have a look at it, and respond, either directly to the government, or get in touch with us, to make sure that their voices are heard and their views are included," Mrs Gallichan said.

She said key aspects of the strategy included the removal of barriers for everyone to to go fishing, and resource sharing agreements for key species.

"At the moment the commercial sector can take 79 per cent of available rock lobster, and the recreational fishers can take 21 per cent, but recreational fishers have typically been taking a lot less than that ... that is because there are a lot of restrictions on the way that recreational fishers can take lobster," she said.

Tasmanian Rock Lobster Fishers Association Rene Hidding said a fully accountable reporting system was desirable.

"Then we can start talking about resource sharing in a practical manner," he said.

"It is time for that sector, with the number of licenses now issued, to have the same level of accountability as the commercial sector, and we are pleased to report that almost all the recreational fishers that we speak to seem to be perfectly happy with that."

Mr Barnett said the six outcomes of the strategy were focused on the value of recreational fishing, involving the community in fisheries management, making it easier for people to go fishing, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of fish stocks.

Public comment on the Draft Strategy open until July 26 this year, online or by email.
