Workshop to determine fisheries management needs related to marine heatwave impacts

Project number: 2025-020
Project Status:
Current
Budget expenditure: $10,000.00
Principal Investigator: Ian Cartwright
Organisation: Thalassa Consulting
Project start/end date: 20 Jul 2025 - 2 Dec 2025

FRDC

Need

• Stakeholder feedback from both industry and management has indicated a need to ensure marine heatwave impacts can meaningfully be incorporated into decision making processes. This need has been identified through feedback at question time following several of the Marine Heatwave webinar series delivered for FRDC by BoM and CSIRO, and through FRDC’s Climate Resilience strategic Theory of Change workshops held in February and May 2025.
• A project application proposing to answer ecological and biological impact data gaps for management was submitted by CSIRO in late 2024.
• However, it has also been identified that monitoring for management is a cost burden borne by fishers, and that additional monitoring efforts must be as efficient and cost-effective as possible.
• Several jurisdictions have indicated interest in incorporating climate impacts (including marine heatwave) as a part of their management strategies.
• However, there are differences in research uptake among jurisdictions that is not well understood.

Objectives

1. Develop and conduct a Fisheries Management workshop
2. Determine management monitoring needs related to marine heatwave impacts to inform FRDC research role

Seafood CRC: economic management guidance for Australian abalone fisheries

Current Australian abalone fisheries management primarily uses biological and catch data to set total allowable catch limits (TACs). Performance targets are usually based on trends in catch rate or catch and aim to maintain these indicators within historic bounds that have prevented recruitment...
