The seafood industry operates in a diverse and dynamic environment and although the volume produced in Australia is small by world standards, the value and quality of our product and sustainability of our practices are globally recognised. For the seafood industry to continue to be a world leader in seafood production and quality there must be an opportunity to learn from each other and plan for the future.
The role of Seafood Directions is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders of the seafood industry to review and discuss priority issues and future planning and development.
This need is supported by key stakeholders of the seafood industry, as is evident by the number of delegates attending the biennial conference.
1. Plan and deliver the fifth Seafood Directions conference in Tasmania 2007
2. Increase the attendance of industry members - deliver a conference that meets the needs of those that consistently attend conferences (ie fisheries managers, scientists, peak industry bodies) but extend the program to include areas of interest/relevance for commercial fishers, aquaculturalists and processors
3. Make use of the conference location (Victoria Dock, Hobart) to promote and showcase the seafood industry
4. Deliver an outcomes based conference with discussions and recommendations being acted upon/pursued post conference
