Understanding the social contribution of aquaculture and fisheries activities is becoming increasingly important as community and market expectations continue to demand greater ethical and responsible social and environmental stewardship from the industry.

The SROI processes and principles offer a structured approach to assessing social impact in partnership with the relevant stakeholders, or communities of interest. In other contexts, the SROI has delivered strong, two-­‐way relationships with stakeholders (Social Ventures Australia, 2012), creating a context within which an enterprise’s future direction, including growth, can be discussed and designed on realistic terms that take into account social impact.

The purpose of this research project was to pilot the use of the SROI principles and processes as a basis for structured community engagement within the aquaculture industry in Tasmania.

This project sought to engage two sectors (mussels and salmon) within the aquaculture industry so as to explore ways to build effectiveness in engaging with comparable communities of interest, and to develop a better understanding of what can support building and maintaining a social licence to operate.
