Need

Presenting at the Summit, themed "Reducing Risk, Increasing Sustainability: Solutions through Collaboration", will increase my contact/collaboration with leading marine industries experts that use the marine space and resources. As the summit aims to assist marine businesses in addressing shared ocean environmental challenges and develop the practical programs to develop and implement solutions - issues raised at the 2010 Seafood Directions, there is opportunity for me to gather ideas, techniques and contacts that are relevant to the sustainability of Australian fisheries and mechanism for improved communication to the public. Further travel to discuss progress in Ireland on wild caught seafood EMS and its impact on market share, will further assist the work of OWA and the industry nationally, particularly the inshore fisheries which often are in direct conflict with other estuarine/marine user groups.

Objectives

1. Attend, present & participate in SOS.
2. Develop contacts/networks & gather ideas/strategies to improve the delivery of good news stories relevant to Australian fisheries.
3. Visit Irish organisations involved in developing wild caught seafood EMS to share problems, solutions and discoveries to add value to Australian EMSs being developed through SeaNet.
4. Disseminate findings to the OceanWatch team (so they can directly relate them to the fisheries they are assisting), to the SeaNet Steering Committee, and others industry stakeholders.
5. Produce article on the SOS for the wider stakeholders for inclusion in the SeaNet newsletter.
