Tobin et al. (2010d). Baseline socio-economic data for Queensland east coast inshore and rocky reef fishery stakeholders. Part D: Seafood consumers

Queensland’s East Coast Inshore and Rocky Reef Finfish Fisheries are important for commercial, charter and recreational fisheries, as well as Queensland seafood consumers. With a new Management Plan in development during this project for the East Coast Inshore Finish Fishery (the ‘Inshore Fishery’), and a revision of management for the Rocky Reef Finfish Fishery (the ‘Rocky Reef Fishery’) planned for the future, an opportunity arose to collect baseline socio-economic data for stakeholders of these fisheries prior to management change – ‘stakeholders’ including seafood consumers. This baseline data would provide the opportunity to assess the impacts of  management change, and to also initiate a process of long-term socio-economic monitoring. Such monitoring would allow ongoing assessment of local seafood consumers. This report (Part D) outlines the baseline data for Queensland seafood consumers.
