Need

The 7th World Recreational Fishing Conference is proposed to be held in Brazil in September 2014. This event will provide an opportunity for representatives of the rec fishing sector to come together and participate in productive dialogues in the interest of advancing the sector.

I believe that this opportunity would be a huge benefit to my personal development as an amateur recreational fisher and aspiring representative of our sector. In recent years I have attended the Future Leaders Program (2011) and the Australian Recreational Fishing Conference (2012) which have both been of great assistance to myself in expanding my network and knowledge of the rec fishing sector, this new opportunity will expand that network on a global scale.

My attendance at the conference will also allow me to gain further appreciation of issues faced by rec fishers world wide and the effective approaches to deal with them.

Objectives

1. Attend the World Recreational Fishing Conference 2014, Brazil.
2. Begin to develop my network of contacts in the recreational fishing industry on an international scale.
3. Convey to Australia's recreational fishing sector key issues/themes covered at the conference, and their importance/relevance to Australian rec fishers.
