Funded Activity Summary

The CRC has to date committed investment of $6.7M into research projects in its Future Harvest research theme which is broadly addressing the issue of fishing for profit targeting two major outputs within Program 1.
These two major outputs are:
1. Bioeconomic modelling for improved economic efficiency and the development of decision support tools.
Projects are underway in several key fisheries with key participants (SRL, ACA, WRL, Moreton Bay Trawl and the SA Prawn Trawl). This research engages with the leading national specialists in fisheries bioeconomic modelling and key industry stakeholders.

2. Stock enhancement (including ranching and translocation).
Projects in this area are focused on stock enhancement and stock recovery in abalone (WA), sea cucumber ranching (NT) and rock lobster translocation (Tas).

There are three additional projects slightly outside these main areas of focus. Each of these projects will deliver defined outputs and will target enhanced economic and efficiency outcomes in each fishery. However, it is unclear whether there is more that the CRC can achieve to deliver wider outcomes (for example, wider adoption of targets in fisheries governance based on economic theory, or the application of bioeconomic modelling in decision rules setting processes).
There is a need to review the proposed pathways to adoption of the outputs of the CRC projects and identify whether there are broader outcomes that the CRC can facilitate, the processes whereby these could be achieved and the principal constraints to this achievement.
