Report on Vote Fisheries Non-departmental Funds managed by the Ministry of Fisheries
These public funds include revenues received from the commercial fishing industry through cost recovery levies that recover the costs of fisheries-related conservation services and fisheries services.
The cost of fisheries services provided by the Ministry of Fisheries during the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 is being recovered from the commercial fishing sector over the period 1 October 2008 to 30 September 2009.
These costs are accounted for through the departmental financial statements included earlier in this report. Expenditure on conservation services is reported separately by the Department of Conservation.
The following table shows actual cost recovery levies and departmental charges as a proportion of total departmental output expenditure for the period from 2005/06 through to 2008/09 and what is planned for 2009/10.
