Metric: Annual number of threatened, endangered, and protected species (TEPS) mortalities. Measures the number of threatened, endangered, or protected animals that die each year as a result of fishing activities. This indicator helps assess the fishery’s impact on vulnerable species.

Metric: Annual catch weight for each species (kg). Measures the total weight of each non-target species that is caught and retained by the fishery. This helps track how much of these species is being harvested over time.

Metric: Impact score of fishery activity on habitat quality as determined by gear type. Measures the potential impact of fishing gear on marine habitats such as the seafloor, reefs, or other underwater environments. Higher scores indicate greater potential effects on habitat quality.

Metric: Percentage of macro-plastic waste that is recycled, recovered, or re-used by the fishery annually. Measures the proportion of plastic waste generated by the fishery that is recycled, recovered, or reused instead of being disposed of. This indicator reflects how effectively the fishery manages plastic waste.

Metric: Annual amount of macro-plastic use (kg). Measures the total weight of large plastic materials used by the fishery each year, such as nets, ropes, packaging, and other equipment. This indicator helps track the fishery’s reliance on plastic products.

Metric: Percentage of renewable energy share in total final energy consumption in a year. Measures the percentage of the fishery’s total energy use that comes from renewable sources such as solar, wind, or renewable fuels. This indicator shows the extent to which the fishery draws on clean energy.

Metric: Gross Value of Production (GVP) of the fishery ($AUD). Measures the total harvest value of seafood landed by the fishery before costs are deducted.

Metric: Presence/absence of compliance regulations and penalties which apply to the fishery. Indicates whether rules and penalties are in place to ensure fishery regulations are followed.

Metric: Presence/absence of provisions to enable cultural and customary fishing in the form of exemptions from standard fishing rules or formal recognition of rights to access in fishery-specific legislation or in the legislation of the jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) in which the fishery operates. Indicates whether laws or policies formally recognize and support cultural and customary fishing practices.

Metric: Presence/absence of resource allocation policy or statute in the fishery jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) of operation. Indicates whether formal policies or laws exist to determine how access to fishery resources is allocated.
