Both are focused on ensuring that the rock lobster resource is managed sustainably, that the total annual removal of stock from the resource by the commercial and recreational sectors is known and that analyses of the stock are accurate.<\/p>\n<p>An important new principle that has been embraced in this management plan is one of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p>This is reflected by embedding an annual review process into the science program underpinning the assessment of the rock lobster resource and in the development of annual work plans. This ensures constant evaluation and identification of changing conditions to allow management activity to be directed appropriately and the resource to continue to be managed efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n<p>To view the new rock lobster management plan, visit vfa.vic.gov.au\/lobsterplan.<\/p>\n<h2>Photos<\/h2>\n<p>I would also like to remind everyone to keep those photos coming in of your big catch!
