Project 1.3.3 - Economic analysis of alternative uses and trade-offs in Torres Strait

Project Leader:  Professor Sean Pascoe, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research 

Project 1.3.3 consists of an in-kind contribution by the CSIRO to the Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility.  The agreed objective of the Project is to facilitate discussions during 2006/2007 (Year 1) that will lead to the development of an appropriate resource economics project/s to be proposed for conduct in the Torres Strait region for consideration in a research plan for Years 2 to 4.  These discussions will involve researchers in the area of resource economics from Australian institutions, including MTSRF funded researchers. 

Key objectives of Project 1.3.3 in Year 1 include:

  •  A preliminary review of the key resource economic issues in Torres Strait; and

  • A report outlining proposal/s identifying appropriate resource economics project/s to be conducted in the Torres Strait region for consideration for conduct under a research plan for Years 2 to 4.  The report will include communication activities undertaken through the course of this Project - staff and organisations consulted, workshop/meeting attendance and minutes of events.
