Memorandum of understanding
BETWEEN [SETFIA/ SENTA]
AND CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Castray Esplanade, Hobart, Tasmania,
7000
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to set out how
CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research will inform [SETFIA/ SENTA] and individual
fishers about results from the project, how [SETFIA/ SENTA] will
be incorporated into the project and provide support for it, and
how project results will be released to a broader audience.
CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research shall:
|
1.
|
Maintain regular communication with [SETFIA/ SENTA] (principally
through its Executive Officer), including providing updates
on progress of the project for [SETFIA/ SENTA] meetings
|
|
2.
|
Include a representative of [SETFIA/ SENTA] on the project
Steering Committee, and cover the costs of their representative
to attend the meetings
|
|
3.
|
In the planning stage of the project, seek advice from key
members of [SETFIA/ SENTA], particularly working skippers,
on the mapping method and questionnaire used for collecting
information
|
|
4.
|
Release map outputs in stages, seeking authorization for
release as follows:
- provide initial maps to contributing individual
fishers to check and to authorize any further release
- provide revised maps based on trawl data to [SETFIA/
SENTA] and the Steering Committee for examination before
any further release (the Committee is bound to keep information
confidential until its general release is approved through
CSIRO and [SETFIA/ SENTA])
- release interim maps more generally (initially
to SETMAC/ SENTMA
|
|
5.
|
Present composite, interpreted maps from trawl fishers
(and including scientific data) to [SETFIA/ SENTA] at two
workshops:
- a [trawl/ non-trawl] sector workshop towards the middle
of 2002
- a cross-sector (trawl and non-trawl) workshop towards
the end of 2002
|
|
6.
|
Formally acknowledge industry and CSIRO as the
sources of information for maps
|
|
7.
|
Provide [SETFIA/ SENTA] with a draft of the
project final report for comment
|
|
8.
|
Ensure [SETFIA/ SENTA] are fully aware of the final report,
its content and presentation prior to its public release
|
|
9.
|
Develop a public relations strategy for the
project and its outcomes
|
[SETFIA/SENTA] shall:
|
1.
|
Provide public endorsement and support for the project
|
|
2.
|
Authorise use of the [SETFIA/ SENTA] logo on project updates,
such as those distributed to Association members through SEANET
|
|
3.
|
Participate in a cross-sector workshop with [SETFIA/ SENTA],
project scientists, fishers and steering committee members
and in particular provide a formal contribution addressing
the stated project objectives and helping lead discussion
on future options for the fishing industry’s involvement
in the development of management recommendations on habitat
issues.*
|
|
4.
|
Provide comment on the draft final report and published material
for consideration by CSIRO
|
|
5.
|
Contribute to developing the public relations strategy

and will undertake to source funds to cover the cost of industry
members attendance.
