Need

The significant drivers which inform the People development program, and directly relating to this project are:
There is a shortage of industry leaders in all sectors of the fishing industry.
There is an urgent need to develop people within all sectors who have the skills to effectively contribute to debate and policy development for significant challenges, including access to fish resources.
Early career researchers and emerging industry leaders lack opportunities for formal mentoring and professional development.
The fishing industry will need to learn from other industries that have embraced a knowledge and innovation culture, and seek to profit from new opportunities to grow their businesses.
The industry is geographically dispersed and fragmented, and needs opportunities to learn within and across sectors.
The fishing industry is highly complex, and decision makers need to be informed by accurate information and knowledge.

Objectives

2. To support the recreational sector to acquire international knowledge and perspectives
