Sponsorship: WISA Power Up Breakfast 2024 Seafood Directions

Project number: 2024-002
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $15,000.00
Principal Investigator: Kirsten Abernethy
Organisation: Women in Seafood Australasia (WISA)
Project start/end date: 18 Apr 2024 - 31 Oct 2024

FRDC

Need

The WISA Power Up Breakfast at Seafood Directions is WISA's premier event. In 2022, the event was sold out within a few weeks of tickets online and we had a long waiting list. An important drawcard for the event was the high profile journalist Annabel Crabb as the keynote speaker (funded by FRDC as part of project 2018-174) who delivered a strong gender equality message while being highly entertaining. WISA received feedback that Power Up was one of Seafood Directions top events.

Objectives

1. increase awareness of the FRDC, WISA and industry’s understanding of gender inequality issues, opportunities and solutions
2. Enable a larger event and high calibre speaker at Power Up 2024
3. increase understanding of gender inequality issues, opportunities and solutions in fishing and aquaculture

Sailing the marine knowledge landscape: Enhancing the discoverability, accessibility, and usability of FRDC investment

Project number: 2023-204
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $97,000.00
Principal Investigator: Mingfang Wu
Organisation: Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC)
Project start/end date: 30 Jun 2024 - 1 Dec 2024

FRDC

Need

Currently, there are only few mechanisms in place that attempt to synthesise the vast amount of research funded by Australia’s Research and Development Corporations (RDCs) in the agriculture, fisheries, and forestry sectors and organisations outside the RDC space. Even fewer mechanisms exist that attempt to synthesise research from across the marine science space specifically, wherein which the Fisheries RDC (FRDC) operates.

The aim of this project is to input FRDC research into the RLA platform, thereby making it more discoverable, accessible, and usable. The RLA service offers various knowledge tools, which intend to be explored as part of this project also, to allow the FRDC to explore and better understand the marine science and agricultural innovation landscape. Furthermore, the project aims to make the RLA platform known within the wider marine science community and across different RDCs and encourage the adoption of the new capability to link industry and research.

This project expects to yield several benefits for actors both within and outside the fishing and aquaculture community. The RLA platform acts as a link between government, business, and research sectors. Inputting FRDC research into the RLA platform encourages collaboration and innovation between actors both within and outside the marine science space and facilitates knowledge transfer between these currently disconnected actors.

Objectives

1. To share Fisheries Research and Development Corporation research project data to be made available on the Research Link Australia platform, thereby making it more discoverable, accessible, and usable.
2. To explore different knowledge tools (i.e., Research Link Australia-generated dashboards or applications of Large Language Models) to better understand the marine science space and explore the agricultural innovation landscape.
3. To make the Research Link Australia platform known within the wider marine science community and across different Research and Development Corporations and encourage the adoption of the tool.

FRDC

Need

There is currently no available data which provides insight into community expectations and sentiment. Canvassing and reporting on the perceptions, views and likely behaviors of seafood consumers in particular will provide a fuller understanding of the impact of any change to the current fishery and marine park areas.

Objectives

1. To collect and report on community perceptions, sentiment and likely purchasing and consumption behaviors relevant to the issues identified in this application.

Summary

Australia’s Commonwealth, state and territory governments together with regulatory bodies and local authorities have worked in partnership with the fishing industry, scientists, economists, environmental non-government organisations to establish 
management frameworks for fishing in and around Australia. These management processes implement controls, such as limits on catch or effort levels, and regulation of fishing methods to manage Australia’s fisheries in a sustainable way. It also includes the definition and description of different fishing zones and areas. Nominated Australian fisheries and marine park areas are two critical foundations for the description of some of the areas in and around Australia.

A need to understand the Australian community’s awareness and understanding of these zones has been identified. A measure of the support for commercial fishers to operate in these areas was also seen as an important measures to collect 
and describe. These measures will provide Governments and industry the opportunity to plan for their communications and engagement with the Australian community on these two key zones. This research was designed to provide a snapshot of the community’s awareness, knowledge and perceptions of Australian fisheries, marine parks and commercial fishers who may operate in these designated areas. A representative sample of n = 1,000 adult Australians was captured in this community sentiment survey. A more detailed 
explanation of the research design is provided in the attachments to this report.
