An appeal has been lodged in the High Court by the Northern Territory Government.  Until the High Court finally decides the issues, the NLC has developed an interim Recreational Fishing Licencing and Permit Scheme.  The Scheme ensures that:

	Under interim arrangement
	Recreational anglers will continue to have access to tidal waters covering Aboriginal land in the Northern Territory
	No fees apply
	A licence and permit only need be applied for once.
	The NLC will process all interim recreational fishing licences and permits for tidal Aboriginal waters on behalf of the Anindilyakwa, and Northern Land Councils.

For further details, a fact sheet and media statements may be downloaded below.
