• fishing and aquaculture will be more resilient to social, environmental and economic change
• fishing and aquaculture businesses will be more productive and profitable
• recreational fishers will have improved opportunities for better fishing experiences and will play a greater role in the stewardship of fisheries resources
• more Indigenous people will derive benefit from fishing and aquaculture activities and will play a greater role in the stewardship of fisheries resources
• information about the science and management of the sustainability of fishing and aquaculture will be more accessible to the consumer and meet consumer's needs.
