Need

There is a pressing national need to provide industry with services that complement and enhance those provided by peak sectoral bodies. The number and complexity of issues affecting global seafood trade will continue to increase along with the need for more rapid responses. Individual businesses and peak bodies cannot follow development in all of these areas: SSA can.

By focusing on industry development priorities and the adoption of R&D results, SSA can assist the FRDC to meet its 5 year targets and help to meet the expectations of the Australian government (see the National and Rural Research and Development Priorities and the response to the Corish Report).

FRDC investment is required to capitalize and build on SSA’s achievements and to continue to assist industry meet the challenges of sustaining seafood business profitability.

1. The need for stable supply of seafood – Australian seafood producers meet about 40 per cent of domestic demand at present, but if the status quo continues they are predicted to supply less than 25 per cent by 2020. Reducing business costs and increasing production efficiency will help close the supply/demand gap.

2. The need to sustain profitable markets – having the capacity to quickly respond to market signals and expand customer base by increasing demand for product in a broader range of markets.

3. The need to cost effectively deliver quality products to markets – collective approaches to product quality will underpin investment in branding and promotion and improve the capacity of the industry to consistently meet the expectations of premium price markets.

4. The need for access to timely and relevant expertise and knowledge – to be globally competitive Australia’s seafood businesses need access to and the capacity to use the best up to date knowledge and technology to achieve their business objectives.

Objectives

1. To develop environmental and market based processes to ensure supply through chain (Program 1: Security of supply)
2. To develop processes and systems to enable Australian seafood businesses achieve and maintain access to markets (Program 2: Security of markets)
3. To develop industry standards to differentiate Australian seafood products in key markets (Program 3: Product integrity and industry standards)
4. To provide seafood businesses with timely access to relevant knowledge and expertise to assist them to be globally competitive (Program 4: Knowledge brokerage)

Regional impact assessment for the Moreton Bay Marine Park - sponsorship to attend UN world environment day awards ceremony

Project number: 2007-053.20
Project Status:
Completed

Need

The review and amendment of existing Marine Parks Zoning Plans in Queensland (including the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority’s Representative Areas Program (GBRMPA RAP), complimentary state zoning of inshore areas has had significant social, economic (and environmental) impacts on industries that rely on marine resources for their existence. These plans have also often displaced fishing effort and increased pressure on other areas and have considerably impacted on the supply of seafood to the Queensland consumer.

The announcement that the Marine Parks (Moreton Bay) Zoning Plan 1997 would be reviewed in 2007, coupled with the track record of government decisions on Marine Park Plans within Queensland, indicates that there are potentially considerable implications for the three fishery sectors who operate within Moreton Bay, and for the supply of seafood to the Queensland consumer.

The various industry groups involved in the Moreton Bay Access Alliance (MBAA) have decided on a proactive strategy to address potential implications, on the understanding that the:
- EPA will commence review of the Marine Parks (Moreton Bay) Zoning Plan 1997 in February 2007 and will release a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) in September 2007 for public comment and stakeholder consultation; and
- EPA’s RIS proposals are negotiable.

The project aims to validate and quantify the impact of fishing activities on the Moreton bay environment and make a scientifically defensible case for boundary changes or alterations to the existing Marine Park Zoning Plan. The development of a defensible report will ensure that all parties have a common reference point in negotiations following the release of the RIS.

Given that the Marine Park or MPA in question is managed under state legislation, it is likely that the findings of this project may be relevant for other industry groups facing similar legislative reviews (or introduction of MPA’s) Australia-wide.

Objectives

1. To collect representative data to characterise fishing activity and support industries operating within Moreton Bay (including social and economic values for commercial, recreational and indigenous/traditional fisheries).
2. To collect data that adequately represents biodiversity abundance and spatial structure of habitats, ecosystems and associated species assesmblages within Moreton Bay (including protected species).
3. To determine the impact of fishing and boating activity on the environment via risk based approach.
4. To develop alternative options for the Marine Parks (Moreton Bay) Zoning Plan 1997 that meet the conservation requirements of the Queensland Marine Parks Act 2004 and the ecological sustainability objectives of the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), whilst minimising impact on fishing and boating industries (including commercial, recreational and indigenous fisheries, boating and support industries).
