Metric: Presence/absence of protections for culturally significant species in the legislation of the jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) in which the fishery operates. Indicates whether laws or regulations protect species of cultural importance.

Metric: Percentage of waters zoned explicitly for commercial fishing in the fishery jurisdiction (state/territory or Commonwealth) of operation. Measures the proportion of jurisdictional waters that are designated for commercial fishing activities.

Metric: Number of other licenced activities and/or use zones, leases, licences, or applications to use that interact with or are interacted with by the fishery. Measures how many other authorised activities, industries, or marine uses overlap with the fishery's area of operation.

Metric: Proportion of the jurisdictional waters (state/territory or Commonwealth) in which the fishery operates that are under some level of IUCN protection. Measures the percentage of waters within the jurisdiction that are managed under recognised protected area categories.

Metric: Presence/absence of voluntary codes of practices and/or initiatives to ensure the physical and psychological safety and health of workers. Indicates whether additional voluntary measures are in place to support worker wellbeing and safety.

Metric: Presence/absence of compliance assessment and enforcement of compliance. Indicates whether compliance is actively monitored and regulations are enforced.

Metric: Presence/absence of voluntary strategies or initiatives aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Indicates whether the fishery has adopted voluntary measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Metric: A score of the effectiveness of management regimes in place based on recency, frequency of review, and the inclusion of measurable performance indicators. Measures how well management systems perform based on factors such as regular reviews, current information, and clear performance targets.

Metric: Explicit and active consideration of short- and long-term climate change in the governance arrangements, e.g. in the setting of total allowable effort/catch, stock assessment, or provisions to reduce the fishery's contribution to climate change. Indicates whether climate change risks are formally considered in fishery management decisions.

Metric: Presence/absence of explicit provisions for adaptive management in the governance arrangements, e.g. measures for adaptability/elasticity in order to respond to crises (e.g. public heath) or a need for change in total allowable take/effort. Indicates whether management arrangements can be adjusted in response to changing conditions or unexpected events.
