What's the project all about?
The project is about capturing fishers’ knowledge of the seabed
they use.
Our aim is to record fishers’ knowledge on the distribution,
characteristics and ecology of shelf and upper slope fishing grounds
(~100 —1000 m) in a scientifically rigorous and systematic
way. We will then combine it with CSIRO survey data. With industry’s
help, we will produce habitat
maps at various scales of resolution across the fishery.
This has been done for a small area of the SEF shelf by CSIRO
in a previous project — have a look at the shelf
seabed between Wilsons Promontory in Victoria and Eden in NSW
