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.

The focus of this report is on marine resource related issues, and fisheries resources in particular, as these represent the most important industry in the Torres Strait region. Only brief consideration is given to other natural resource issues, namely land and water. [pdf 517.2 kb]
