Empowering Torres Strait Islanders to Have Greater Engagement in the Research, Development and Extension Process 2011-2013

The project identifies a means for Torres Strait Islanders and Research Development and Extension (RD&amp;E) providers to assess opportunities for greater collaborative efforts through the development of procedures and processes that encourage greater real involvement and engagement of Torres Strait Islanders in the RD&amp;E process. 2011-2012.
Project objectives were:
1. Assess the costs and benefits of Torres Strait Islander engagement in fisheries research, development and extension (RD&amp;E);
2. Identify future RD&amp;E benefits and opportunities for Torres Strait Islanders;
3. Development of a best practice model for supporting indigenous fee for service and employment opportunities in RD&amp;E in the Torres Strait; and
4. Draft a basic business plan and pathways to implement the best practice model in the Torres Strait.
Key outcomes listed in the final report were:


A means for Torres Strait Islanders and RD&amp;E providers to identify opportunities for greater collaborative RD&E;


Research providers will benefit from the project as it has shown that, if the aim is greater involvement of Torres Strait Islanders in the RD&amp;E process, there is a need to identify opportunities to develop and adjust procedures and processes that will encourage involvement;


Real involvement and engagement of the Torres Strait Islander community has the potential to enhance acceptance and adoption of findings which can lead to cost effective R&amp;D and improved management arrangements in the region;


Many of the R&amp;D opportunities that were the basis for this project have now been taken up by the TSRA LSMU and therefore opportunities for those outside of this system appear limited.


The TSRA LSMU does not have current capacity to undertake additional tasks focussing on fishing and seafood related R&amp;D. This type of R&amp;D generally falls outside of existing TSRA scope and currently funded LSMU roles/tasks. There would need to be arrangements made (legal and operational), and resourcing/funding opportunities identified, to build capacity and organisational structures, if the TSRA were to consider taking on such tasks as part of their day to day activities.


A possible (untested) concept/model for fee for service, outside of the TSRA LSMU arrangement, has been identified but it would appear cost ineffective at this stage.
Draft a basic business plan and pathways to implement the best practice model in the Torres Strait.

CSIRO/Industry Northern Prawn Fishery (NPF) Banana Prawn Sampling 1983 - 1986

This dataset was collected to calculate optimal seasonal opening dates for the commercial fishery and to provide other management advice, by undertaking size sampling of pre-season and in-season banana prawns (F. merguiensis and F. indicus). In-season sampling of commercial catch on commercial trawlers (1983 - 1985) was supplemented during the season by data obtained from quality control staff at KFV Fisheries Pty Ltd. Sampling was organized for pre- and in-season searching and sampling voyages and prawns were sampled and measured from as many trawlers as possible.

Carnarvon Infauna Images

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Carnarvon shelf (WA) in 2008 (SOL4769) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through co-located sampling of surface sediments and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wave-generated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km. This is a folder of the images derived from benthic samples taken on cruise Sol4769 aboard RV Solander. Subfolders house images of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Polychaete, images taken of fresh material during cruise, and various categories of Crustacea, denoted by a C_ prefix in the folder name. Images of fresh material were made using a Canon EOS 40D camera on a rostrum in the wet lab of the ship. Images of preserved material were made using a Nikon Coolpix camera mounted on a Macroscope in the benthic lab at GA. These images formed the first point of reference in identifying subsequent specimens to save wear and tear on the specimens put aside as reference material. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.
