Abalone assessment and management (workshop): what have we learned, what are the gaps and where can we do better

This project supports an abalone assessment and management workshop aimed at rationalisation and consolidation between jurisdictions in areas of research, monitoring and management. A national commitment to achieving this would be a positive step towards addressing long-standing issues of duplication among sectors as well as lost opportunities for collaboration and the leveraging of resources. Such a commitment is integral to improving the sustainability of these stocks, while enhancing economic outcomes for industry.
