FRDC

Need

FRDC will analyse fishing and aquaculture emissions reduction and carbon sequestration information to support development of the Carbon Farming Outreach Program's knowledge bank. FRDC will identify gaps in publicly available information on emissions reduction, emissions intensity, and carbon sequestration, and provide actionable insights/recommendations to avoid duplication and ensure cross-commodity consistency. The project will collaborate across stakeholders, RDCs, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, and the broader supply chain. The project will engage a consultant with extensive knowledge of fishing and aquaculture and other commodities to conduct the analysis, ensuring it is informed by industry-specific expertise and includes collaborative opportunities with other RDCs. The project will involve systematic stakeholder consultations to identify and prioritise gaps and develop actionable recommendations for producers to lower emissions and sequester carbon.

Objectives

1. Identify gaps in publicly available commodity specific information relating to on-farm, wildcatch fishery emissions reduction and carbon sequestration opportunities.
2. Identify and prioritise within the Fishing and Aquaculture sector opportunities to address gaps in commodity specific information, based on latest research and stakeholder needs, leading to actionable insights and recommendations
3. Identify and propose strategies that allow FRDC to work collaboratively with the Department, DCCEEW, other RDCs and the broader supply chain to address information gaps to ensure consistency across commodities and avoid duplication
4. Prepare final report outlining the manner in which FRDC should inform the Department and DCCEEW so that they have an understanding of the most appropriate and functional formats and delivery channels for commodity specific information within Fishing and Aquaculture
