OVERVIEW
The Northern Territory Seafood Council is the peak representative body of the seafood industry in the Northern Territory, representing some
222 businesses. The direct investment alone in the wild catch and
aquaculture sectors is approximately $1.4 billion.
There are 11 Licensee Committees
/ Associations of licence holders that are members of the Seafood
Council and the Chair of each of these is a member of the Council's
Board. Licensees are also individual members of the Council.
The Council provides secretariat
services for all its member Licensee Committees / Associations and
those members not represented by Associations, as well as advice on a
wide range of issues that impact on the seafood industry.
The Council represents
industry's interests in a diverse range of forums at the Northern
Territory level. These include a number of regional Aboriginal fishery
consultative committees, fishery management advisory committees,
conferences and workshops on specific issues such as the environment
and native title, formal parliamentary committees, individual
government and non government bodies and the media.
In recent years a significant
amount of time has also been devoted to representing the industry in
land claims under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act and in native title
proceedings in the Federal Court. Security of access to resources is a
fundamental issue in the industry's wild catch sector.
The Seafood Council is a long
term member of the Northern Territory Business Council, a forum which
brings together 19 major industries in the Northern Territory.
At the national level the
Northern Territory Seafood Council is involved in a wide range of
issues, from maritime and industry training to such issues as
biodiversity, marine protected areas, foreign incursions into fishing
grounds and resource sharing.
