FishSmart — 14 September 2026

14 Sept 2026

New

  • Staff catch tools: log a catch yourself, edit it, archive it or mark it as a false report, and withdraw one on a fisher's behalf. Each catch keeps its own history. A new map shows catch activity by grid cell, filtered by species, region, boat and method.
  • Rules search and favourites: fishers can search the regulations, keep favourites with their account so they follow them to a new device, and see the gear diagrams on the web.
  • Gallery likes: fishers can like catch photographs in the gallery. Likes are anonymous, and comments are not offered.
  • Pages and documents: build pages from sections of content blocks, keep a library of documents with attachments, and publish, duplicate or review the history of any page or document. The admin now has a Content section for FishSmart.

Improved

  • Regulation control: regulations are approved before they go live, carry the dates they apply from, and keep a history of every change. They reach the apps from the server, so a correction no longer waits for an app release.
  • Gallery review: search, sort and filter the queue, decide on many photographs at once, and unpublish a photo without reversing its approval.

Fixed

  • Rules show today's regulations, and a corrected document replaces its old version straight away. Catches are checked against the rules in force on the day they were made, and a prawn bag limit now reads as litres rather than prawns.
  • A guest who entered a name keeps it when they create an account.
