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

1. To provide biennial scholarships to the world recreational fishing conference
2. To support the recreational sector to acquire international knowledge and perspectives

1. To establish an appropriate advisory group (the Fisheries Social Research Advisory Group may be the appropriate group.

3. To develop the survey instrument in discussion with the advisory group, conduct a pilot test of the instrument, and administer it to a statistically representative sample of the Australian adult population (18+).
4. To identify implications of survey findings for industry communication, education and marketing activities (from answers to knowledge, perceptions, attitudes and behavioral questions).
5. To identify implications of survey findings for ESD monitoring and reporting frameworks (behavioral questions in particular).
6. To obtain data on indigenous perceptions of commercial fishing practices and conflicts between traditional and commercial fishing (from purpose designed supplementary survey).
7. In discussions with the advisory group, to develop options and strategies for addressing any negative perceptions of the industry, identifying appropriate actions, agencies to implement actions, and methods for evaluating success of implementing options.
8. To communicate overall survey results to stakeholders in a meaningful and useful form.
