| Our newly revamped magazine, Western Fisheries, now has a new look and an even stronger focus on marine ecology, research, conservation and management of our State's extraordinary aquatic resources. The Department of Fisheries manages Western Australia's fish, marine and aquatic resources to world-class standards.
