Need

The Tasmanian seafood industry has no shared vision, minimal alliances of industry sectors and key stakeholders, minimal investment in planning, research and development (as an industry with a farm gate value of $1 billion over 4 years - we have contributed<2%) and an ad hoc approach to market development.

Currently the Tasmanian seafood industry has a bottom up structure, it is not aligned in a state or national partnership agreement, the seafood industry has no clear strategic framework at a state or national level and there is no overarching strategy for growth based on sound economic, social and ecological principles.

Objectives

1. Review past outcomes - and the lessons learnt
2. Understand the current situation
3. Define the future directions to support growth
4. Define precisely where the TFIC can add value to Tasmania's seafood industry
5. Develop a list of strategic topics with sub-points that provide operational and tactical suggestions for Tasmania's seafood industry
