This project assesses the effectiveness of FRDC IRG projects to deliver change. Using two previous FRDC IRG funded projects as case studies, the assessment evaluates the impact of research and capacity building on Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants. This is vital for advancing both strengths as well as identifying areas for improvement in future projects. The conversations we had with 20 individuals, which took place over the phone and were analysed through NVIVO, which identified and coded common themes between the interviews. Based on recurring themes, the findings and key messages are presented within this report and within additional reports which are written in accessible language and design. Reflective of our conversations with workshop attendees, this report identifies how projects were perceived, experienced and areas of improvement based on the participant’s point of view.

In response to increasing concerns for the status of shark and ray populations world-wide, and increasing pressure to ensure Australia’s shark and ray species are effectively managed and conserved, this project synthesised the scattered information, assessed individual species’ status and provided a clear and concise overview of the state of Australia’s shark and rays. Project staff from the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania collected available data from peer-reviewed literature, government reports, observer programs and fellow scientists to produce comprehensive databases on species and management measures with input from CSIRO on the most recent taxonomy of this diverse group. The Status of Australian Fish Stocks (SAFS)-aligned status assessments were undertaken for all 331 species, and 341 stocks of Australian shark, ray and chimaera. A workshop of experts reviewed the proposed status all species before they were finalised to ensure consistent and peer-reviewed outcomes. A Report Card overview indicates that the majority of species are sustainable and in a healthy state; and while Australia’s approach to managing its shark stocks has to date been very good, this needs to be maintained and supported by ongoing research, monitoring and assessment. The significant resources generated by the project will be available publicly to ensure wide uptake of the outputs.
