Implementing a spatial assessment and decision process to improve fishery management outcomes using geo-referenced diver data

Fishing activity was captured across 53,852 one Hectare hex grid cells across Tasmania. A total of 113,164 diving hours were recorded across 125,536 individual fishing events (Table 1). Between 2012 and 2016, the Tasmanian Geo-Fishery Dependent Data (GFDD) program captured between 85 % and 90 % of...

Need

The Future Harvest Theme is the last of the CRC's initial research themes to be developed. The management of the theme requires significant input from an expert in invertebrate fisheries management - expertise that does not currently reside within the CRC staff.

Objectives

1. To assist the program manger to deliver an effective research theme and its associated outcomes

Summary

The CRC has developed the Future Harvest theme business plan to deliver the following outcomes:

  1. Fisheries management delivering maximum benefit from the resource while maintaining stocks above sustainability indicators
  2. Novel management strategies in place which increase economic yield from our fisheries
  3. The technical efficiency of our fishing fleet will be improved to respond to rising costs

Through the following strategies:

  1. Field / pilot trials of novel or alternative management systems
  2. Bioeconomic modelling of specific harvest strategies allowing stakeholders to select optimal fisheries management and harvest systems
  3. Manage change and promote implementation of results in fisheries management and business structures
  4. Improve technical aspects and efficiency of fishing operations
  5. Foster better management and a progressive and collaborative culture by educating and training CRC participants and theme management
