The Northern Land Council (NLC) has shocked recreational and commercial fishers by announcing — via a public notice in the classifieds section of a newspaper — that permits will be required to access Indigenous intertidal waters in 2021.
Key points:
A recreational fishing group says it is "blindsided" by the decision
The NT's Industry, Tourism and Trade Minister says the NLC decision is "not in line" with agreement
The intertidal zone is the area between the high and low tide marks.
