Agri-Science Queensland (part of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries) will be inviting stakeholders to participate in a national online survey as part of a research project to reduce shark depredation.
Shark depredation occurs when a fish caught in fishing apparatus is completely or partially consumed by a shark before it can be landed.
The 2.5-year project will also involve a series of stakeholder workshops at regional centres in Queensland, Western Australia, Northern Territory and New South Wales — the main states and territories where shark depredation has been identified as a common issue.
We encourage anyone interested in taking part to email jonathan.mitchell@daf.qld.gov.au
