There would be many advantages in having the fishing industry collect some of the basic data needed for stock assessment and environmental monitoring. The need is to develop a program for this to occur in an efficient, effective and accountable manner. The first need is to bring together key stakeholders who would need to be involved if such a program were to be developed. The stakeholders would include fishing industry associations, fisheries scientists (government and non-government), fisheries training agencies, resource and environmental management agencies and groups like Ocean Watch.
1. To discuss and scope ideas for developing industry capability for scientific data collection
2. To develop a full proposal for submission to FRDC in December 1999.
