Need

Energy is currently a major issue for the Fishing Industry and an area in which the FRDC has focused in the past five years. FRDC has developed a good international network to share research outcomes the issue of energy, fuel and improving boat efficiency.

On 20 May 2010, the first major international conference on energy and fishing will be held in Spain. E-Fishing 2010 is the first of a series of biannual conferences devoted to the study of energy efficiency in the fishing world. This symposium aims to be a forum where experts will present the latest advances in research and development aimed at improving the energy efficiency of fishing vessels and systems.

It is important that the informaiton form this conference is extended and made available for the fishing industry in Australia.

Objectives

1. Extension of research presented at the E-fishing conference on "energy" related issues relevant to the fishing industry

Need

The recreational fishing industry is facing a shortage of people willing and able to assume positions in advocacy and representation for the increasingly complex environment for which the industry impacts and is impacted upon. This shortage of people is hindering the advancement of the goals and needs of the recreational fishing community.

This program will assist in growing the capacity within the recreational fishing community for the future and to provide a preferred pathway for succession planning and capacity building for the recreational fishing sector.

Similar successful programs have been run by Recfishwest (2008), The Recreational Fishing Alliance of NSW (2009) and Recfish Australia (2007). Participants from these initial courses are currently filling important roles in recreational fishing advocacy; including the National RFAC, Recfishing Research, Recfish Australia and state peak bodies.

The current situation relies upon a small group of people to do an ever expanding range of tasks, projects and strategic issues at the national state and local levels. The issues include Bioregional Marine Planning, Marine Protected Areas, Animal Welfare, Resource Allocation and Reallocation, Extension and Communication, Research and promotion of best practices, etc…

The project proposes to construct a consistent model for Future Leaders programs that can be implemented across the nation. Continuity in programs being delivered will be of great benefit to participants and the wider recreational fishing community. The Future Leaders program will be a stepping stone for further leadership development opportunites such as the National Seafood Leadership Program.

Objectives

1. Develop a national framework for future leadership development in recreational fishing at the regional level (Western, North East & South East).
2. Bring together the next generation of recreational fishing leaders in a series of regional forums where they will be educated and mentored by a group of experienced and recognised leaders in recreational fishing advocacy and management.
3. Develop a pathway for further leadership development in the recreational fishing industry, providing linkages into the National Seafood Leadership Program.

Summary

In 1984 a world conference on recreational fishing was held in France. Since then, there had not been a world gathering to discuss and share information regarding recreational fishing. European countries gathered, in Ireland, in 1996 to confer over recreational fishing but this focused only on Europe.

Recfish Australia has always advocated the need to have an international conference. Other countries can often use the trends and findings of research and management ideas from around the world. Networking benefits of such a conference are often overlooked and undervalued.

In 1995 Ms Joelle Row, Resource Management Officer (voluntary position) for the South African Deep Sea Anglers Association, and Professor Tony Pitcher, Director Fisheries Centre University of British Columbia, began discussing the concept of an international conference on recreational fishing. Further talks took place with them and John Harrison, then National Executive Director for Recfish Australia, at the 2nd World Fisheries Congress in Brisbane in 1996.
