Fishing in Gove Peninsula area

The Gove Peninsula in northeast Arnhem Land includes Nhulunbuy township, Yirrkala and Melville Bay.

Many of these intertidal fishing spots lie over Aboriginal land.

You don't need a permit to fish in these waters if you are a recreational fisher.

You should respect the traditional owners’ code of conduct. You can read the code of conduct in the Fishing Northeast Arnhem Land guide PDF (984.3 KB).
