State FRABs play in FRDC's funding process and the strategic
development of our national fisheries.
Mr Stevens reiterated that
the fishing industry continues to strive for higher
intellectual and commercial partnerships among key
stakeholder groups and FRDC's role in supporting the work of
all State FRABs has been pivotal.
