These same issues are impacting on the broader industry. The seafood industry requires solid intelligence in order to build a case for DEEWR's priority training places, as well as inform DEEWR generally on industry trends and needs. Secondly, the current state of communication between AFISC and its seafood standing committee is preventing effective consultation on workforce and training needs, and training package review.
For some time, this situation has been worsening and the FRDC is in a position to demonstrate leadership and facilitate a way forward in collaboration with AFISC and other stakeholders.
Final report
People Development Program: Seafood Directions 2010 - Connecting the supply chain - Bursaries for Conference Attendance
The seafood industry operates in a diverse and dynamic environment and although the volume produced in Australia is small by world standards, the quality of our product and sustainability of our practices are globally recognised. For the seafood industry to continue to be a world leader in seafood production and quality there must be an opportunity to learn from each other and plan for the future.
The role of Seafood Directions is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders of the seafood industry to review and discuss priority issues and future planning and development.
This need is supported by key stakeholders of the seafood industry, as is evident by the number of delegates previously attending the biennial conference.
Despite several successful Seafood Directions conferences there is a need to look at how the conference is run and what its focus is. There is a real need to engage the whole supply chain sector from fisher to consumer.
