Need

With the impending wind up of Wildcatch Fisheries SA, it is timely to firstly, assess the need for a new peak industry body, and secondly, as part of that assessment, acknowledge the role of existing structures for consultation and representation at the individual fishery sector. For example, there are management advisory committees for a number of fishery sectors, along with tasked working groups to deal with specific fishery management issues, such as the development and implementation of harvest strategies and reform of the Marine Scalefish Fishery.

It is important to recognise that South Australia already has sound legislation in place (Fisheries Management Act 2007 – although it may need review and updating); it also has considerable regulation in support of the Act, along with management plans for individual fisheries – most of which have recently been reviewed and updated, including the incorporation of updated harvest strategies. Finally, SA has key policies in place covering:

 Co-management
 Allocation
 Harvest Strategy Development

Objectives

1. To host a workshop to determine the support, options and viability of a seafood peak industry body in South Australia

Summary

Following the wind-up of Wildcatch Fisheries SA, a seafood industry forum was held in mid-2021 to gauge support for a new peak industry body to represent the interests of the SA Seafood Industry to Government, its agencies, other stakeholders and the community. At this forum, key fishing and seafood stakeholders gave in-principle support for the idea, but recognised there was a range of views about the need for such a body, what it would do, what membership it might comprise, how it might be structured, and what links it might have with other established industry organisations. Assisted by funding from FRDC, a Steering Committee was formed to help resolve issues and explore potential options for a new organisation (termed in this report as “Seafood SA”) to unify and support the industry into the future.

Need

The Australian Seafood Industry operates in a diverse and dynamic environment and although the volume produced in Australia is small by world standards, the value and quality of our product and sustainability of our practices are globally recognized. For the Seafood Industry to continue to be a world leader in seafood production and quality there must be an opportunity to learn from each other and plan for the future.
The role of Seafood Directions is to provide a significant opportunity for fisheries researchers, fisheries managers and others who work in support of the industry, to examine key contemporary and strategic issues and develop blueprints that will ensure a sustainable, profitable and socially resilient seafood industry in Australia.As stated previously, this function of Seafood Directions is particularly valuable in the absence of a National Peak Body representing the interests of the Australian Seafood Industry as a whole.

The need for Seafood Directions is indicated by the ongoing support of key stakeholders of the seafood industry , as is evident by the level of industry sponsorship and attendance at the conference series.

Objectives

1. Plan and deliver the eight Seafood Directions Conference in Port Lincoln South Australia in 2013
2. Increase the attendance of industry members, to include members from other sectors within the seafood industry

Tactical Response Fund: Understanding the drivers of fisher engagement with industry bodies

Need

The wildcatch fishing industry throughout Australia is declining in number, but more alarming is the significant decline in fisher participation in representative bodies. The declining membership of fishers in representative bodies is undermining the success of the industry in business and political arenas.

Launched in Feburary this year, Wildcatch Fisheries SA (WFSA) was established to re-unite the South Australian wildcatch fisheries under a single representative body. The organisational structure has a Council of representatives of the 13 fisheries (including comonwealth wildcatch licence holders) and a Board of Management providing for three Councillors and three independent Directors. Membership is based on individual voluntary membership of licence holders.

Although all industry sector associations and individual fishers strongly supported the development of WFSA, there has been only limited uptake of individual voluntary membership. The Council and Board unanimously identified that understanding the reasons for lack of engagement by fishers to the layers of representative bodies was a critical develpment priority for the organisation and the industry. The WFSA Councillors and Directors, along with the sector association executive, are aware that the ongoing success of the wildcatch fishing industry is through service delivery, advice and representation on a range of statewide issues the best placed group to deliver these outcomes is the State representative body.

Although industry leaders are aware of the importance of representative organisations, individual fishers remain apathetic and uncommitted to join their sector or state representative bodies. To develop a strong and secure seafood industry at a sector, state and national level, we must understand the mechanisms driving the individual's decision not to join these organisations. Moreover, we need to clarify the individual's needs and expectations so that strategic and business plans are tailored to deliver tangible, long lasting benefits to the industry and therefore members.
