Need

Futurefish Foundation's mission is to protect and enhance recreational fishing for all Victorian’s through a range of initiatives including environmental, educational and fish stocking projects as well as projects that improve fish habitat, access and facilities.

In line with our mission statement, Futurefish foundation is a registered environmental organisation and we recieve a moderate level of corporate donations to invest in recreational fishing projects with an environmental component.

The Futurefish Foundation Board of Directors chose the Barramundi in Hazelwood project to enhance recreational fishing opportunities in Victoria.

We have so far funded the prefeasibility work and intend on further funding a fisheries management plan and fish stocks.

The risk assessment component of this project is neccessary for Fisheries Victoria's Translocation Evaluation Panel's consideration prior to providing advice to the Executive Director to approve the fish stocking. This process is outlined in the 2003 publication "Guidelines for the Translocation of Aquatic Organisms in Victoria".

Objectives

1. Conduct a comprehensive risk assessment in accordance with "Guidelines for the Translocation of Aquatic Organisms in Victoria".
