Reference
Groups
The Ecologically Sustainable
Development Reporting and Assessment (ESDRA) Subprogram currently uses
consultative structures that had already been developed, including the SCFA
Working Group, in combination with the ESD ‘Reference Group’. Thus, the ESDRA Reference Group includes
representatives from:
-
most fisheries agencies;
-
other relevant areas of government;
-
commercial fishing industry;
-
recreational fishing;
-
aquaculture;
-
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation; and
-
environmental groups.
The ESDRA Reference Group has
four main roles that are to:
- Provide comments and feedback on the progress of
current ESDRA projects
- Assist in the identification of future directions for
projects within the ESDRA Subprogram
- Provide comments on applications submitted for funding
through the ESDRA Subprogram
- Assist the flow of communication into and from the
ESDRA Subprogram and their particular agency/industry/group.
