# The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has adopted a new plan to reduce the number of seabirds accidentally killed by fishing. The plan will run from this year to 2030 and will target different types of fishing. The government will work with the fishing industry, conservation groups and researchers to improve monitoring and find safer fishing methods. The goal is to protect vulnerable seabirds while supporting sustainable fishing and coastal livelihoods.
