2007/715 Oyster Consortium - communication, extension and management of research and development results

By Rachel King

This project provided the resources to ensure that the outcomes of the research and development are adopted and commercialised quickly and extensively throughout the Australian oyster industry. Without this coordination it would be very difficult to achieve the change at the extent and rate necessary to achieve the growth targets for the industry.

This project aimed to:

1. Manage a national strategic approach to oyster research and development.
2. Manage project development on a state by state basis.
3. Manage and implement a communication plan to ensure research results are rapidly and widely adopted.
4. To establish and maintain collaboration within projects for the oyster industry.
5. Represent the Oyster Consortium at Seafood CRC core participant meetings.
