SUPPORTING communities |
The Victorian seafood industry proudly practices sustainable fisheries management and is taking proactive measures to ensure a catch for tomorrow.
|
Victorian harvested seafood is a local source of healthy food. Seafood has a relatively low carbon footprint compared to many other protein sources.
|
For over 150 years Victorian seafood harvesters and their small businesses have been part of the fabric and economy of Victorian coastal communities.

SUPPORTING VICTORIAN SEAFOODSeafood Industry Victoria is proud to host this exciting conference where we will be exploring the theme “Harvesting Opportunities and Grappling with Change”.
For our industry to move forward with confidence, it’s imperative we have the important discussions in areas such as carbon neutrality, climate change, impacts of industrial offshore projects, third party sustainability accreditation, animal welfare, biosecurity, international trade relations, market diversification and fishing property rights. Presentation topics and insightful keynotes have been carefully curated to ensure relevance to all stakeholders involved across Australia and NZ’s diverse lobster industry. A big part of any conference is networking! There will plenty of opportunity for offline chats, collaboration and sharing of ideas at the cocktail welcome event, afternoon drinks and a very special gala dinner! |
TRAINING & CAREERSSIV has been working with Food & Primary Skills Victoria and Skills Insight to highlight the need for dedicated vocational courses to support careers in fisheries and aquaculture. The relevance of courses to upskill deckhands/farmhands/processors and improve their prospects for career progression have been called into question due to low enrolment levels.
