Need

Sectors in the blue economy need to understand and manage social expectations in order to maintain their social license and ensure a satisfactory triple bottom line. This is a particular challenge for emerging industries, where data relating to community attitudes and expectations is limited. In the case of Tasmanian seaweed aquaculture, securing social license may be further complicated by existing perceptions and conflict surrounding salmon aquaculture.
The key elements needed to address the challenge of establishing and maintaining a social license for seaweed aquaculture in Tasmania are:
1. A survey of current community attitudes to industry expansion.
2. A tool to understand the evolution of attitudes and test communication strategies, policy options and industry practices in relation to managing social risk.
3. A coherent set of strategies for navigating pathways towards a social licence for seaweed aquaculture.

Objectives

1. Characterise current community attitudes towards seaweed aquaculture in Tasmania.
2. Capture past and current media associated the development of seaweed aquaculture utilising AI approaches.
3. Model changes in community attitudes including social and media influences.
4. Explore strategy options for managing the social risks of an expanding seaweed industry.
5. Communicate findings to key stakeholders and support managers in developing social risk mitigation strategies.
