In many states and regions around Australia there is a lack of current and reliable recreational fisheries data (e.g. participation rates, catch) that can be used in decision-making processes. Since the stock boundaries of some recreationally-important species can span several State and Federal jurisdictions, reliable stock-specific data is needed. The results of the last national recreational fishing survey undertaken in 2000-2001 are now considered outdated in many respects, or are of limited use for rarely-caught species and some fisheries or regions due to issues of scale.
Since the national survey, various recreational fishing surveys have been undertaken by State fisheries agencies to address their own specific management issues. These surveys have generally been telephone-diary approaches based on the National survey methodology. Additionally, community-based recreational fishing data collection have been undertaken at regional levels by community and recreational fishing groups. However, there has been a lack of coordination between agencies to report at a national level. Therefore, there is a need to assess the feasibility of aggregating data from these surveys to provide reliable up-to-date information at regional and national levels.
1. Provide an understanding of the current state of knowledge, and identify information gaps, across the recreational fishing sector at a national scale
2. Explore approaches to filling key information gaps and begin development of system(s) and protocols that will allow data to be stored, aggregated and analysed to answer questions related to recreational fishing in a timely and responsive way
3. Assess the feasibility of aggregating available recreational fishing datasets to provide reliable regional and national information on catch, effort, participation, and social and economic aspects in the recreational fishing sector

Seafood CRC: oyster over-catch: cold shock treatment
The recruitment of fouling or pest organisms to cultured oysters and growing infrastructure imposes a major financial impost for oyster culture throughout Australia and serves as a particular deterrent to industry expansion in certain regions. Oyster farmers have a range of management options such...

Enhancement of saucer scallops (Amusium balloti) in Queensland and Western Australia - genetic considerations
The saucer scallop, Amusium balloti, is distributed along the Western and Eastern coast of Australia and supports a fishery in both Queensland and Western Australia. Two commercial companies are investing in sea-ranching operations in an attempt to stabilise and increase annual catches. These...

The operating environment within which Australian fisheries and aquaculture are positioned is complex, comprising economic, social and political institutions and organisations that are continuously being re-shaped by multiple external and internal drivers.
Addressing these specific drivers requires understanding of the human dimensions of fisheries and aquaculture, along with the biophysical. Human dimensions refers to the social, economic and cultural factors that affect outcomes for both the seafood community and in terms of public good. This includes the attitudes, processes and behaviours of individual people, companies, management agencies, communities, organisations, consumers, and markets. Human dimensions research has been successfully applied to understand how to enable better outcomes for Australia's fisheries and aquaculture (e.g. improved social acceptability, resilience through shocks, inclusive growth, economic productivity), and what are the effective strategies to achieve this (e.g. market based mechanisms, behavioural approaches). It brings together research capability from a broad range of disciplines.
Historically, achieving the level of coordinated investment required to effectively deliver against this need has been hampered by a range of factors, which have included:
• effective integration of human dimensions RD&E with biophysical sciences; and
• research capability and expertise capable of undertaking such research to ensure end user needs are met.
The FRDC has invested substantively in human dimensions R&D capability in recognition of this need. Ongoing coordination and strategic development of human dimensions R&D activities will support the FRDC to deliver its Fish Forever 2030 vision: Collaborative, vibrant fishing and aquaculture, creating diverse benefits from aquatic resources, and celebrated by the community.
The FRDC considers Coordination Programs as critical to delivering relevant outcomes of the R&D Plan. With respect to Human Dimensions, it is evident that a planned R&D outcome can be achieved more successfully if expertise and related activities are developed and managed in a coordinated manner.
1. Identify and coordinate the development of human dimensions R&D priorities through review and consultation with key stakeholders, and assist to develop scopes to address those priorities
2. Ensure quality and relevance of human dimensions R&D through technical and extension advice and support for FRDC management and project teams
3. Support management of external partnerships delivering human dimensions R&D across FRDC
4. Support development of FRDC human dimensions data and analytics
5. Inform FRDC and stakeholders of state of knowledge and capability, and emerging needs, in key human dimensions R&D areas relevant to the FRDC's R&D Plan outcome and enabling strategy areas
6. Support extension and adoption of R&D in key human dimensions R&D areas relevant to the FRDC R&D Plan outcome and enabling strategy areas
7. Develop and foster R&D collaboration on international initiatives in human dimensions research of relevance to Australian fisheries and aquaculture

Evaluating rotational harvest strategies for sea cucumber fisheries
This project evaluated the benefits of a rotational harvest strategy (the Rotational Zoning Scheme - RZS) in the Queensland East Coast Sea Cucumber (Bêche-de-mer) Fishery and found that, in general, the current management arrangements result in a low risk to most fishery species and reduce the...
