Review the preconditions and the underpinning industry and government structures necessary for the successful implementation of co management
1. To investigate the resilience of the various co-management approaches to a changing fishing operational environment (biophysical and socio-governance)
2. To look at the lessons learnt, and the challenges arising from, the implementation of co-management in all jurisdictions
with a view to identifying positive and negative drivers
3. To assess the skill sets needed to successfully implement co-management
4. To assess how to resource co-management once the fishery has moved past the RD&E phase
5. To identify the relevant RD&E questions to inform future investment
6. To document recommendations for the future implementation of co management

The original Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) Report – “Comanagement: Managing Australia’s fisheries through partnership and delegation” Project No. 2006/068 – was reviewed and found to remain rigorous, relevant and appropriate as a guide to co-management and the issues surrounding its implementation.
The list of “drivers” for co-management in the original report (Appendix 1) has been confirmed in this review. In particular, the importance of cost savings as a driver for both the industry and government was again emphasised. However, one further driver has been raised which should be added, namely the opportunity to build on human and social capital development across fisheries stakeholders and the community.
The list of “essential pre-conditions” for co-management in the original report (Appendix 2) has also been confirmed. The point was reinforced that not all “preconditions” needed to be satisfied to enter into co-management negotiations, but those negotiations needed to ultimately cover all those points in some way in reaching an agreed co-management arrangement.
Most industry organisations (and some government agencies) are adopting a “wait and see” attitude dependent on the reviews of current co-management trials to demonstrate that real costs and benefits are achievable in a practical sense. Others continue to seek funding for additional trials designed to confirm successful results in different situations.

Resource access and resource allocation - guidelines
Issues surrounding access to fisheries resources and their allocation among competing parties go back to early feudal times in England where the Magna Carta was thought to be responsible for establishing the common law principle of the public right to fish in tidal waters, with fish being deemed to...

1. Establish a working group to provide steerage and technical advice
2. Undertake a desk top study on shared management and its application for Australian fisheries. The study would provide a business case for the different types of shared management systems, and how they can be applied to different fisheries sectors. It is envisaged that this study would provide a guide to both adoption and future R&D investment.
3. Act as a steering committee for 2006/026 "development of co-management arrangements for Queensland - stage 1 picking the winners"
4. Provide advice on R&D priorities as they relate to co-management to the FRDC Board.

Fisheries co-management is an arrangement in which responsibilities and obligations for sustainable fisheries management are negotiated, shared and delegated between government, fishers, and other interest groups and stakeholders. This is the definition of fisheries co-management developed by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation’s national working group on the fisheries co-management initiative. It reflects the increasing recognition among fishers and fisheries managers alike of the need for a cultural change, away from an untrusting, often conflicted “them versus us” approach to one of partnership based on joint responsibility for decision-making and implementation in fisheries management. This definition also encompasses the key factor of delegation of functions to fishers, which many other co-management models do not envisage.
