Need

Seafood Directions is regarded as the premier seafood industry conference in Australia. Seafood Directions provides an opportunity for the stakeholders of the seafood industry to come together and discuss issues and opportunities in a national forum. This is particularly valuable in bringing together the interests of the Australian Seafood Industry as a whole, and in 2022 Seafood Directions will aim to engage with the consumer/broader community as a part of the conference.

Such a national forum provides an opportunity to:

*Promote and showcase seafood industry excellence and success stories
*Identify and promote best practice and sustainable development
*Examine the latest information, identify solutions and opportunities
*Examine issues of critical importance to the future well being of the Seafood Industry
*Identify and prioritise future research and development needs
*Build networks at a national level
*Use the Seafood Directions outcomes to drive future actions
Seafood Directions has been successfully staged every two years in a different State since 1999

1. Plan and deliver SD22,24,26 Seafood Directions Conference
2. Educate attendees on current best practice and R&D for the seafood industry
3. Create a hybrid online/in-person event to work within COVID safe practices and state restrictions for gatherings
