Workshop to examine the viability of establishing a peak seafood industry body for South Australia

Funded Activity Summary

With the impending wind up of Wildcatch Fisheries SA, it is timely to firstly, assess the need for a new peak industry body, and secondly, as part of that assessment, acknowledge the role of existing structures for consultation and representation at the individual fishery sector. For example, there are management advisory committees for a number of fishery sectors, along with tasked working groups to deal with specific fishery management issues, such as the development and implementation of harvest strategies and reform of the Marine Scalefish Fishery.

It is important to recognise that South Australia already has sound legislation in place (Fisheries Management Act 2007 – although it may need review and updating); it also has considerable regulation in support of the Act, along with management plans for individual fisheries – most of which have recently been reviewed and updated, including the incorporation of updated harvest strategies. Finally, SA has key policies in place covering:

 Co-management
 Allocation
 Harvest Strategy Development

Objectives:
1. To host a workshop to determine the support, options and viability of a seafood peak industry body in South Australia
