Need

According to the Stakeholder Engagement and Communications Strategy:

“Public engagement and consultation activities will be required to facilitate Federal and State approval processes associated with a variety of relevant legislation including EPBC Act 1999 – (Strategic assessment and program report development) Biological Act 1984 and its mirrored state legislation, Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994.

It is proposed to align timing of the mandatory public consultation for each piece of legislation to minimise the potential for ‘consultation fatigue’ across interested stakeholders and the broader community. (See EPBC Strategic Assessment Process Appendix A, Mandatory public consultation required under legislation – Appendix B).

In addition to the required mandatory public consultation, the FRDC project team will be engaging in a rigorous round of stakeholder engagement and consultation throughout the development of the plan, to ensure it delivers the best possible environmental outcomes.

The aim of the plan is to maximise the long-term cost effective reduction of carp populations while minimising disruption to industries, communities and the environment should a carp herpesvirus release go ahead.”

Critical to the public engagement and consultation activity will be an effective and targeted communications program which can underpin all activity and garner the community and industry’s support and endorsement of the recommendations contained in the final report.

There is a range of seafood caught in Australia that is unknown and under appreciated by consumers across the country. There are two reasons for this. First consumers do not know about the species, and second they do not know what to do with them or how to best use them - despite a simple approach, such as pan fried or steamed being perfect for them. By telling a great story and providing terrific information. Everybody has to eat and our sustainable fishing message will convince more Aussies to eat seafood. There is a clear need to provide the Australian public via mass communications, namely TV, the wide range of species that are available, where they come from and how to cook them. This is supported by the FRDC's recent consumer research which highlights the need to better educate about seafood. The FRDC highlighted in their RD&E Plan and Annual Operating Plan under Priority 2 a need to expand the number of under-utilised species that are utilised with a particular focus on increasing the profitably. Annual Operating Plan 2017-18 2. Improved productivity and profitability of fishing and aquaculture. Key activities this financial year include: • progressing the development of the Easy Open Oyster, • building on the outputs and structures in post-harvest processing established by the Seafood CRC, • expanding the number of underutilised to utilised species, • further improving post-harvest waste utilisation, • scope business opportunities for indigenous Australians and • develop techniques to empower stakeholders to enhance habitats to improve productivity. FRDC RD&E Plan 2015-20 National Priority 2 – Improved productivity and profitability Aim: By 2020, delivery of RD&E for fishing and aquaculture to increase productivity and profitability consistent with economic, social and environmental sustainability. Strategy: Invest in RD&E to understand the drivers of and impediments to productivity and profitability growth in all fishing and aquaculture sectors; research means of increasing sustainable production and profitability; link these to business education; encompass the needs of Indigenous communities. Priority area activities: RD&E that demonstrates how to use underutilised and undervalued species sustainably and more profitably

Objectives

1. To raise community awareness of six under-appreciated commercial species

2. To raise the profile and educate the community about the practices used by commercial fishermen

3. To document fishing practices of six fisheries
