Project Leader: Mr Damian Miley, Torres Strait Regional
Authority
The science projects conducted in Program 3 and Program 4 need
to be conducted in the context of an engagement system like that
developed for the CRC Torres
Strait . This system involves an Indigenous liaison officer
employed by CRC Torres Strait and based at the offices of the
Torres Strait Regional Authority on Thursday Island.
It is important that the results of research
be made accessible to users. This is sometimes to be done in
specialised, tailored ways. However, it is increasingly desirable
to also make information available using web-based delivery and
similar tools. Such a system is also to be developed through Theme
5 of the MTSRF Programme.
Project 1.3.4 will facilitate researcher activity in Torres
Strait through newsletter articles, community visits and meetings
where appropriate and report its activities to Theme 5.
