Reference Groups
Overview of the ESD Reporting and Assessment (ESDRA) Subprogram
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.
