The Management Plan for the Queensland Coral Reef Fin Fish Fishery will be reviewed in 2012. At
the recent FRDC-funded workshop, fishery stakeholders agreed on a vision for the fishery as well as
the need for a collaborative resource sharing agreement. Finite coral reef fin fish resources are
accessed by multiple extractive user-groups (commercial, recreational, charter, indigenous fishers),
and are also of interest to conservation bodies, management agencies and the general public.
Currently the commercial CPUE of both major species are unstable (FRDC 2008/103), recreational
effort increases have occurred in some areas (GBRMPA, unpub data), growth in the charter sector
has some long-term participants concerned while data paucity for the indigenous sector needs
attention. In order to restore confidence in the social, economic and ecological sustainability of this
fishery, and ensure multi-stakeholder satisfaction, a resource sharing agreement needs to be defined.
The project will define a resource sharing agreement that will be presented to the Fisheries Minister
and his department for adoption. Stakeholders will also identify key areas of data deficiency and
workshop solutions for obtaining such.

1. Provide the information to foster an improved understanding of the implications of climate change on fisheries stocks, fishing effort and marine biodiversity, thereby providing input into Australian and state based fisheries management and policy.
2. Building on the climate adaptation imperatives and carbon sequestration opportunities of inshore habitat and the opportunities of “Direct Action”, foster works and activities that will ensure increased inshore productivity for professional, recreational and indigenous fishers.
3. Articulate the benefits of resourcing R&D for the key knowledge gaps across climate adaptation, carbon sequestration and inshore fisheries habitat and seek for FRDC co-investment partnership arrangements with key Australian Government agencies.
4. Review and evaluate to ensure a high standard of all draft milestone and draft final reports, remaining projects.

THE NEED IS FOR A REVIEW PAPER (or two smaller papers) WHICH REVIEW LEGAL AND MANAGEMENT BY RIGHTS IN AUSTRALIAN FISHERIES. IT WOULD HAVE TWO PARTS
PART A: LEGAL REVIEW
The legal status of fishery access rights in each state needs clarified as they vary between little or no rights, to statutory rights. The law can supply clarification on the rights held in a licence. It would be useful to describe these issues for all of Australia in a review paper for the FAO Conference.
PART B: REVIEW OF RIGHTS BASED MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRALIAN FISHERIES
There have been no reviews of rights based fishery management in Australia of late. Industry often see enhanced access rights as being a security issue, with sustainable considerations following behind. Alternatively government and community groups see sustainability as the paramount concern, not sufficiently recognising industry security.
The fishing industry need a review of alternative rights based fishing systems which may accommodate their desires to be more autonomous and responsible for achieving sustainable fisheries management. Enhanced right regimes are not "shelf ready" and must be developed between government and fishers.International fishery rights developments will be examined to see what takes place in other countries compared to Australia.
COMMON ISSUES - Significant impediments to the further development of rights based fishery management in Australia will be identified. These are the challenges for all parties in the development of sustainable rights based fishery management.
1. Identification of the legal status of fishery rights in all states of Australia and review alternative forms of rights based management internationally.
2. A paper will be presented at the FAO Fishery Property Rights conference in Western Australia in November 1999, giving a review of legal and management/economic characteristics of current fishery property/access rights and resource security in Australia. SAFIC and ASIC have a place to speak at this forum.

This project investigates fishing rights in Australia reviewing both legal and management aspects.
The implementation of limited entry in Australian fisheries in the 1970s and 1980s led to the development of new fisheries legislation. Since then, the perspective of the legislative framework has changed and broadened. In the 1990s, the critical challenge facing governments and the fishing industry has been how to strike a delicate balance between the public’s ownership of fisheries resources and the need for a more secure access rights. Very often, the debate has been focused narrowly on the issue of property rights
The project reviews fisheries legislation in Australia to determine the extent to which the legislative framework recognises fisheries entitlements as property rights. It is argued that the issue for industry is not so much whether fisheries entitlements constitute property rights in the legal sense, but the extent to which the legislative framework enhances such rights.
The application for the project 99/161 amended a previous one which was in two parts. Part I was funded by FRDC to provide review papers of rights in the Australian scene for the Fish Rights'99 Conference in Western Australia, November, 1999. Part II: was not included in current project.

5 papers have been published from this work. The FIRTA travel funds enabled the microbiologist and the engineer employed with FIRTA money to accompany the permanent staff of TFRU to a joint CSIRO-DSIR workshop on seafood technology from the 7-11th April. The workshop was held in Nelson and included industry visits.
The work has focused particularly on fresh seafoods due to a marked swing back to a preference for unfrozen products by the general public. However, in the main, products for export must be frozen and a comprehensive study has therefore been undertaken on the effects of freezing seafood products in the commercial fiberboard packages in which they are ultimately shipped.
