Communication and extension has been identified by the board as an activity on which more work should be undertaken.
In particular the last three AOP's for FRDC identified under Challenge 5: Community and consumer support two key priorities:
• Educate the community about fisheries and aquaculture management and its contribution to Australia.
• Communicate the benefits of government and industry investment in R&D.
To deliver key messages to the broader community, television is widely recogised as a powerful, albeit costly, tool. Escape with ET provides a cost effective vehicle to reach not only recreational fishers but those in the community that are interested in a wider range of activities and pursuits.
Over the course of Series 9 and 10, FRDC has helped produce over 35 individual stories on R&D ranging from release fish survival through to Australian Salmon and Southern Rocklobster which has been seen by a cumalitive audience of over 18,000,000.
1. to educate the broader community on best practice handling techniques for recreational fishing
2. provide the public with science based information that will allow them to make educated decisions regarding the maintenance of Australia’s ecosystems and associated fish stocks
3. provide science based information to community to inform their opinions

In a recently completed study (2007/058 and R4041) into strategic funding options for the recreational fishing sector, options for the national peak body, Recfish Australia, appeared limited. In the face of decreased funding from the Australian Government (a three year funding agreement ended on 30 June 2008 with no commitment to continue), the association was advised to seek alternative funding.
An option of seeking funding from the fishing trade and boating industries is currently being investigated but there are several challenges that need to be addressed before funding can be secured.
There is a need for Recfish Australia to build trust with both industry and other recreational fishing organisations not currently part of the association. A clear business case and purpose for Recfish Australia that delivers benefits to recreational fishers and industry partners needs to be formulated and the details of any funding agreement need to be carefully considered.
What is clear is that there is an ongoing need for Recfish Australia to continue as a national peak body advocating on behalf of recreational fishers and engaging with Australian Government agencies and departments. Recfish Australia provides a valuable service and ensures that the needs and rights of recreational fishers are considered in discussions of issues such as marine protected area planning, biosecurity, research and development and in strategies to deal with the implications of climate and environmental change.
1. Recfish Australia to host a preliminary, facilitated, meeting with AFTA, BIA, Sunfish Queensland and the Game Fishing Association of Australia to discuss the conditions of a funding agreement between industry and Recfish Australia and identify issues impacting the formation of a unified peak body.
2. Recfish Australia to host a facilitated, round table discussion of all current, past and potential members to discuss the funding proposal and business environment of Recfish Australia
3. Recfish Australia to review its constitution, business case and strategic plan.

Currently across Australia there are a number of formal, non-formal and ad hoc or loosely aligned industry groups representing specific sectoral interests within the recreational fishing industry.
While each group has a specific cause and unique constituency, unnecessary duplication, ineffective communication and poor lateral strategy on key policy issues affecting recreational fishing, occurs.
This project sought to identify pathways and structure that could facilitate more effective partnerships amongst peak bodies within the recreational fishing industry.
Keywords: Recreational fishing, funding, partnerships, industry, strategic.

Development of generic contingency plans for disease emergencies of aquatic animals

Development of contingency plans for significant aquatic animal diseases is a critical first step in the management of disease outbreaks. In this respect, aquatic animal health policy development is lagging behind terrestrial animal health policy by approximately 20 years.
At the Melbourne workshops, all sectors of the fishing industry strongly supported the need for a national approach to aquatic animal disease control issues and identified the writing of contingency plans for disease incursions to be an important task. Also they noted there was a need to build on the unanimous support for this contingency planning process and there was an expectation that some generic, sectoral plans could be developed very rapidly.
1. Write four generic (enclosed water
open freshwater
net/open culture marine
open marine) contingency planning manuals for the occurence of significant diseases in aquatic animals to draft form.
2. Following consultation with industry, State government and Commonwealth government representatives, produce four final generic contingency planning manuals.

Population genomic assessment of Australian Blacklip Abalone for abalone viral ganglioneuritis (AVG) resistance
Abalone viral ganglioneuritis (AVG) remains a significant threat to the economic viability and stability of the Abalone industry in south-eastern Australia. Consequently, there is an urgent need for strategic research aimed at determining the likely vulnerability of fisheries to future AVG outbreaks...
