Brief description
WAMSI Node 4.1 focussed on: 1) developing a means (mechanisms and processes) of integrating Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) into “mainstream” fisheries management, including the WA Government’s Integrated Fisheries Management (IFM) initiative, and; 2) to source, identify and integrate appropriate supporting research. Ultimately, this project will provide stakeholders, including the broader WA community, with a much improved understanding of what EBFM means and how it could be achieved in WA. The key outcome will be the development of a risk assessment system that encompasses each of the ecological, social and economic aspects of fisheries management. The West Coast Bioregion was used as a case study, with a report to be available for download.Lineage
Statement: The methodology for this project consisted of mainly a literature search, focussed meetings and workshops. Full details are available through the report available for download.Created: 11 08 2009
