Community Fishing 

(Aboriginal Subsistence Fishing)

Provision has been made, under section 53 of the Fisheries Act that:

"Unless and to the extent to which it is expressed to do so, but without derogating from any other law in force in the Territory, nothing in a provision of this Act or an instrument of a judicial or administrative character made under it shall limit the right of Aboriginals who have traditionally used the resources of an area of land or water in a traditional manner from continuing to use those resources in that area in that manner."
