If we are awarded the $10,000 FRDC will be offered an exclusive Platinum Sponsorship of the event and you will experience an exclusive Gulf to Plate experience with a reserved table in our sponsors area and you will receive a chefs tasting platter from each of our high end caterers along with some complimentary drinks. Here you will have the opportunity to network with fellow sponsors for example: SFM Blue, SAFCOL Fishmarket who are bringing a table of SA fish buyers, SA Prawn Association, SA Blue Crab Pot Fishers Association, A & C Barnes Seafoods, Barnes Seafood, Hewett Seafood, Bencar Fisheries. Other possible networking opportunities are with The Hon Clare Scriven MLC, local Federal and State Members of Parliament, Director of Fisheries and other PIRSA representatives, SARDI representatives and local Industry. I have attached a copy of our sponsorship proposal which will outline other promotional benefits including print and social media etc. PLEASE note our printing material will be printed on the 2nd of December so we have time to distribute it to surrounding towns before the Xmas holidays so we will need confirmation prior to this with a high resolution logo if you would like to be included on our posters as a sponsor.

The Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) is seeking support to plan and develop an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework for fisheries and aquaculture to address the requirements of several stakeholders (government, investor, consumers) and be a leader addressing key current and emerging ESG trends and expectations. The ESG Framework would cover all fisheries and aquaculture sectors (Indigenous, commercial, wild catch, and recreational).

The proposal sets our suggested approach to developing an ESG framework development plan for Australian fisheries and aquaculture. It includes our proposed methodology, budget and work plan, as well as information on our team and experience.
The overarching objectives of this engagement are as follows:
- Identify the unifying purpose of an ESG framework for Australian fisheries and aquaculture, the drivers that will shape it and the intended audience.
- Review relevant frameworks, standards and agreements to identify existing requirements and best practice related to ESG for Australian fisheries and aquaculture.
- Provide options for how the Australian fisheries and aquaculture sector could design and structure an ESG framework aligned to existing frameworks and systems, and reflecting monitoring and evaluation aspirations and the unique needs of fisheries and aquaculture.
- Prepare an ESG framework development plan which clearly outlines and prioritises the steps that need to be taken to establish and build a mature framework for Australian fisheries and aquaculture.
