Need

The issues facing the fishing industry are unique and complex. In order to meet these challenges, good leaders are needed in all areas of influence. It is vital that these leaders use their leadership and build consensus to bring about change. The ARLF develops leaders who can act individually and collectively, in ethical ways for a stronger rural and regional Australia. The investment to develop leaders at all levels of industry and across al sectors, and improve communication between them is critical for a successful and productive industry into the future. Developing individual leadership capacity, in turn will lead to communities and the broader industry being able to meet future challenges and opportunities.

Core capabilities required and developed within the ARLP include: governance, influence, critical thinking, leading through complexity and ethical considerations. These are capabilities that underpin industry leadership and it is through these core capabilities that the industry will be able to respond to current and future needs. Relationships, and the ability of participants to relate to one another and build other relationships, underpin all learning developments.

As an ARLP sponsor, FRDC will be promoted across multiple platforms at multiple stages of the programs. Including:
- during recruitment to seek suitable candidates
- official announcement of the cohort
- in the duration of the program via social media and written reports
- on the arlf website
- on media and collateral at graduation ceremony and comms coverage

Need

Project funding will provide the PI with additional resources that enable him to focus on achieving the requirements and objectives of his research and PhD completion to a high standard and on-time.

The project funding application covers four key areas:

1. Additional stipend: to provide an adequate living allowance.
2. Travel: attendance of international conferences is a key vehicle to build skills an experience in the international policy and diplomacy fields as well as providing the opportunity to collect valuable research data. These skills and networks will ultimately benefit the Australian fishing and aquaculture community through the sharing of knowledge and networks.
3. Training: Facilitation training has been identified as an opportunity for development
4. Communication and content creation: developing content to assist with promoting and communicating the results of the research.

Having members and advocates of the Australian fishing and aquaculture community informed and skilled in the way international governance agreements are developed and then translated into domestic policy is extremely important, and a current gap in our capability and capacity.

Objectives

1. Research and describe the genesis of the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy as novel multilateral governance intervention.
2. Research and describe the operation, function and objectives of the High level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy.
3. Critically analyse Australia's progress in meeting its commitments as a founding member of High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy.
4. Successful completion and fulfilment of the requirements of the PhD.
