Aquafin CRC - SBT Aquaculture Subprogram: tuna environment - development of regional environmental sustainability

Funded Activity Summary

Objectives:
1. Establish a steering committee of stakeholders and hold a SCFA-ESD reporting workshop to develop a set of operational parameters for regional scale ESD assessment.
2. Develop a set of methodologies for measuring and evaluating each of the parameters in order to provide an ESD assessment.
3. Using knowledge gained through this process and in consultation with stakeholders develop target levels for key parameters as a basis for effecting management responses.
4. In collaboration with researchers involved in the development of ecosystem scale models for salmon farming identify the key information/data required to parameterise and validate these models for the tuna industry.
5. Integrate the field and remote data collection systems, necessary to provide the data required for the parameterisation of these ecosystem scale models, into the regional ESD assessments.
