Need

Full sponsorship details are on-line at: https://apmbc2023.com/#sponsorship . FRDC will be given the opportunity to select a specified package or negotiate something more suitable to them. The Conference organisers would greatly appreciate a sponsorship amount in the order of $15,000, equivalent to bronze sponsor. FRDC rather than a "Bronze Sponsorship" package might alternatively prefer, for example, to fund a number of "Speaker Session Support Packages" (e.g. "Aquaculture and Fisheries") or a "Forum" (e.g. "Early Career Researchers" or "Woman Leadership").

The entitlements to FRDC will vary with the sponsorship package they choose, so I have not outlined each here but refer the reader to the link provided above to the web site where they are provided in detail. It is recommended that FRDC ring Rebecca Gabriel, the professional Conference event organiser (All Occasions Group - All Occasions Management) addressing sponsorships (08 8125 2200 (Option 1) press 2 for Sponsorship) or contact the Conference Sponsor Coordinator, Steven Clarke (Mobile: 0499 837 337).

Need

FRDC has an already developed video and image library, however, does not have the resources to keep it supplied with new and relevant images, or to produce a series of short video clips and capture professional photos to showcase the innovation and sustanability of Australia's commercial fisheries. This is planned as a Phase #1 proof of concept project focusing on fisheries in 3 states: WA, SA and Queensland.

There is a need to produce a digital campaign that encapsulates the stories of commercial fishers and the role of their seafood supply locally and outside of Australia. These fisheries, their people, their fishing techniques and their markets have changed considerably over time. This presents an opportunity to showcase these changes –the new fisheries, the innovations and the inspiring young people taking over the reins.

This project is well aligned with the FRDC’s Strategic R&D priorities, and aims to build community, trust, respect and value (FRDC R&D Plan 2020-2025: Outcome 5) by providing foundational information and support services (FRDC R&D Plan 2020-2025: Enabling Strategy V).

Objectives

1. Increase the awareness of innovation and sustainability in wild catch seafood producers and their link to ongoing local seafood supply.
2. Increase the socio-economic development in coastal fishing communities.
3. Improve social acceptability and perception of the people, products, and organisations who are part of the regions featured in the series.

Summary

This project developed a suite of videos that showcased an unbiased and authentic perspective on what the commercial wild catch sector looks like from the fishers' perspective. Through a series of interviews, each video focuses on the themes of - career opportunities, sustainability within wild catch fishing, innovation across the sector and its socio-economic benefits.
 
The videos were used in a social media campaign "Take a deep dive into wild catch fishing" with further details on the campaign and the videos available on the FRDC website here: https://www.frdc.com.au/take-deep-dive-wildcatch-fishing
