Fisheries Management Committee

The scope of the Fisheries Management Committee is to lift the profile of fisheries management as a discipline and provide an ongoing professional association for emerging and existing professionals in fisheries management and policy.

The Fisheries Management Committee has the following aims:

• provide a forum for fisheries managers to network, engage and discuss approaches to fisheries management challenges, and consider solutions through the collaboration of ideas, networking and information-sharing;

• help to bridge the gap between science and management by increasing opportunities for fishery managers, policy makers and scientists to collaborate and share information;

• provide a range of training and personal development opportunities;

• establish a network for the provision of advice, support and guidance to persons involved with, or interested in a career path in, fisheries management and policy;

• improve consistency, accessibility and transparency in fisheries management and policy decisions and legislation between jurisdictions; and

• increase the standing and recognition of fisheries managers and policy makers through promotion of the profession.
