Need

A stakeholder engagement process is required to gather broad NT fishery and aquaculture sector input into the RD& E priorities of the region. This information will inform the eventual development of the NTRAC RD&E Plan in 2017.

This project addresses an immediate need to elicit stakeholder priorities and provide an analysis of these to the NT RAC on 20th October 2017.No NT RAC members are resourced to undertake the stakeholder engagement process. The committee considered that the use of an independent consultant would facilitate completion and enhance the transparency of the process.

A strategic RD& E Plan is needed for fisheries in the NT to focus and guide the investment of the small amount of funding available to the NT, ensuring efficient use of research funds and maximizing the value of opportunities.
NT RAC has not previously had a strategic RD&E Plan. Previously priorities of government and others have been used where available to inform the investment direction e.g. NT Fisheries Strategic Research and Development Plan. However, for most stakeholder groups, there are no documented strategic directions for RD&E, and the process has thus been ad hoc, prone to short term and knee jerk responses and could be subject to bias.

It is important for NTRAC to produce RD & E priorities that are representative of the sector so NTRAC can then feed them into the national focus and maximize the opportunity to contribute to national directions.
NTRAC wants to ensure all NT sector stakeholders have a say by eliciting priorities from different stakeholder groups, identify commonalties and opportunities for collaboration.

NTRAC will use the outcomes of this stakeholder engagement process to communicate RD & E priorities at the national level enabling opportunities for the promotion of collaboration and partnership across jurisdictions.

Objectives

1. Engagement and communication between NTRAC and key NT fishing and aquaculture industry stakeholders to establish the RD & E priorities for the NT

Issues affecting the sustainability of Australia's freshwater fisheries resources and identification of research strategies

The plight of our freshwater systems necessitates urgent action. It is significant that the comments provided in 'Australia: State of the Environment' (SoEAC 1996) confirm that commonly used indicators of each of the ten key threats to sustainability show continuing deterioration. While most of the...

Evaluating the costs and benefits of research on stock structure for management of the orange roughy fishery

This report describes a procedure for objectively comparing the likely returns from research programs, particularly those designed for fisheries management purposes. This procedure requires that the management objectives for the fishery are well defined, and that the research is directed at...
