To date we have a number of smaller sponsors and local aquaculture businesses supporting us through exhibitor stands.
As a Silver Sponsor, the FRDC will receive three complementary full registrations, plus conference dinner tickets, and a range of promotional materials including mention at the opening and closing ceremonies, and online visibility. Please see the attached document for a full list of entitlements that the FRDC will receive.
The 5 x industry bursaries will support key people, that have been identified by the International Seaweed Symposium organizing committee, to share their knowledge and experience with Australian seaweed industry representatives. The ISS committee and the conference organizers (Conference Design) will oversee the implementation of the bursaries. Names of people identified as prospective FRDC bursary recipients are listed in the attached document.
Output & Outcomes Outputs may be knowledge, skills, process, practices, items/artefacts, publications, workshops, models, or technology that when adopted, will contribute to planned outcomes
The expected outcomes of sponsorship for the ISS are new national and international collaborations, new alliances, new ideas on how to progress the seaweed industry in Australia, identify new markets, increase investment into the Australian seaweed sector, and launch the emerging Australian seaweed industry into the global arena.
The major output from the conference is the Proceedings of the 24th International Seaweed Symposium, which is a substantial volume that contains peer-reviewed publications arising from conference presentations.
Extension
The legacy of the ISS in Tasmania, Australia, will be global recognition of seaweed research and development in this region, and the unique systems and seaweed flora that Australia has to offer. When held in regions where a seaweed industry is at an early stage (e.g. Chile 1995), the ISS has been pivotal in helping realize the full potential of the industry. Extension will, therefore, be through the transfer of new knowledge and skills that are gained at the ISS to Australian businesses and communities and raise awareness of the seaweed industry through media outlets and engagement with end-users.

This bursary will allow Nina Wootton to attend the microplastics and seafood symposium in Edinburgh, Scotland. The focus of the symposium will be human health aspects of microplastics in seafood. The aim is to produce a critical review paper to provide a potential roadmap for additional research, as well as help identify communication strategies for the seafood industry. This is part of an international partnership between FRDC, Seafish (UK) and Seafood Industry Research Fund (USA) that will have 11 scientific experts attending along with industry. The symposium provides Australians with a unique opportunity to engage with experts and industry from around the world.
We will also visit several UK based research groups as part of our travel - we have already engaged with researchers from Plymouth Marine Laboratories, University of Plymouth and Exeter University including Professor Richard Thompson, the first researcher to identify microplastics as an issue.

Dr Douglas Tocher from the University of Stirling in Scotland is a world-renowned expert in both the practical aspects and the molecular biology of lipid nutrition in fish. He will be visiting Sydney in September 2009 to speak at the Oils and Fats conference. This is an excellent opportunity to have him visit Adelaide and Port Lincoln researchers and industry personnel to discuss possible international collaborative projects in finfish lipid nutrition.

There is a wide diversity of wild caught fisheries and aquacultural activities dealing with molluscs, including (but not limited to) wild caught scallops, squid, octopus, abalone, and aquaculture industries for pearl and edible oysters, abalone, mussels, etc. Researchers tend to talk to other researchers in their individual industries.

The World Congress presents an outstanding opportunity for researchers working on molluscan fisheries and aquaculture to interact closely with each other and also with other researchers from throughout the world who work on numerous aspects of molluscan biology. For example, a symposium is planned larval development of molluscs, which has implications for researchers on molluscan aquaculture. Attendance of scientists working on other aspects of molluscs will provide a fertile ground for input from high quality researchers into molluscan fisheries and aquaculture. Objectives: 1. To bring together 15 leading fisheries and aquacultural scientists working on molluscs to present papers reporting the latest research in their fields. 2. To encourage participation of other scientists who will not be funded. 3. To provide opportunities for discussions of the latest research in the various fields of molluscan fisheries and aquaculture, and to provide opportunities for full discussion of ideas across fields. 4. To publish selected papers in a format which can be widely distributed. 5. To improve research strategies and applied outcomes for molluscan fisheries and aquaculture industries. Read moreRead less
