The Industry Consultation Unit has been tasked with undertaking the independent facilitation of the Abalone Area 3 Recovery Strategy, which was developed within FRDC Project No. 2018/212, 'Establishing an Industry Recovery Strategy for the Area 3 Zone of the WA Abalone Managed Fishery'.

As a critical component of the development of key decision-making practices, it has been proposed that the Industry Consultation Unit attend the Western Abalone Divers Association Quota Setting Workshop, held on the 15th and 16th of January 2020.

Facets of the Recovery Strategy will be modeled off the Western Abalone Divers Association recovery plan, it would be highly beneficial for the Industry Consultation Unit to attend the Workshop and observe the industry lead decision making process.
