To satisfy the constitution of the WRLC, a Western Rocklobster Fishery Industry Congress must be held every two years.
To alleviate the extreme degree of uncertainty around all issues facing the Western Rocklobster fishery i.e. sustainability of stock and fishermen, management regime, marketing and marine parks all need to be addressed in a public forum where informed discussion can occur.
To address and improve upon the lack of cohesion across all sectors of the Western Rocklobster fishery.
To provide a forum which will allow for Industry consultation to occur regarding the best management regime for the WRLF i.e. input versus output debate. This will assist the WRLC as the industry peak body representative to put forward an industry consensus to RLIAC which will then allow the Minister for Fisheries to make a decision which will be supported by the great majority of MFL holders in the WRLF.
1. Increased levels of cohesion amongst all industry stakeholders and peak body representatives in the WRLF
2. Effective communication amongst all sectors of industry i.e. catching, processing, marketing, government
3. New direction sought for major issues such as management regime, marine parks and marketing of WRL

The Congress was held on Friday July 24 and consisted of 6 sessions. Expert speakers representing Research, Management and Industry for the Rocklobster gave a total of 11 presentations. The workshop was held on Saturday July 25 with the main focus on 2 subjects - Working through the Management options for 2009/10 and the Input vs Output debate.
The Congress and Workshop provided Industry, Research, Policy and Financial Institutions a forum to exchange ideas and challenges concerning all aspects of the Rocklobster commercial Fishery research and management.
This resulted in a greater appreciation of current issues and will lead to better collaboration and management for commercial Rocklobster fishing in Western Australia. One of the main issues at that stage were the debate between Input vs. Output. An industry vote has taken place since and the outcome was in favour of Output. The Minister has since decided to change the Fishery to a Quota Managed System.
Key Words: Western Rocklobster, management, quota, workshop, forum, exchange ideas

The Third National Rock lobster Congress was hosted by the Western Rock lobster Council (WRLC), with funding received from registrations and sponsors. The Principal sponsor for the event was the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC). Gold sponsors of the event were RaboBank and the Western Rock lobster Development Association (WRLDA). Silver Sponsors were the Geraldton Fisherman’s Co-Operative Ltd (GFC), Telstra Country Wide and Taylor Marine.
The Congress was a single day event held on Tuesday the 16th September 2003, at the Esplanade Hotel, Fremantle, Western Australia and run in conjunction with the FRDC Rock lobster Enhancement and Aquaculture subprogram and FRDC Post Harvest Subprogram workshops. The Lobster Congress was followed by the three days of the Seafood Directions Conference 2003, the biennial Australian seafood industry’s premier forum for discussions and presentations relating to the seafood business in WA.
The Congress is primarily aimed at the catching and processing sector of the Australian lobster industries, with more than 200 delegates attending the Congress including representatives from all the lobster producing states of Australia as well as a delegation from New Zealand.
The theme of the Congress was “Where we have been, where we are, and where are we going”, essentially a look at the progress of the lobster industry to date and the expectations for the future. The program mix was specifically designed to raise industry awareness of key issues that require managing both now and into the future for both the catching and processing sectors of the industry.
