A new strategic research plan for NSW is required to guide research planning and investment for NSW's fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic conservation.
The new 5-year plan reflects all those priorities gathered during an exhaustive process of consultation with 33 different stakeholder groups and includes text outlining the broad priority areas. This plan will provide a co-ordinated approach to research to underpin the management of NSW's fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic conservation and will provide an excellent tool for research providers and funders as they call for, develop and fund new research projects.
1. Consult with all appropriate stakeholding groups to identify research areas that require attention.
2. Rationalise the list of priority areas of research into one document.
3. Consult again with all stakeholding groups to obtain their priorities on each other's priorities.
4. Insert explanatory text into the document and re-distribute a draft plan to all groups.
5. Publish the document and make it available on the WEB so that continuous updates can be incorporated as the various stakeholding groups modify their priorities.
