SETFIA

Welcome to SETFIA an association of commercial fishers that operate otter board and Danish seine vessels in Australia's South East Fishery (SEF). The SEF is one of Australia's oldest fisheries, having been in existence for over 100 years off the coast of NSW and eastern Victoria. This web site has been developed to keep those with an interest in fishing informed about current issues in the SEF.
