Biosecurity Increased pathogen understanding, documented risks, transmission pathways, and practical surveillance implemented for the aquaculture industry in northern Australia by 2023. Skilled personnel Meet the gap in skilled personnel to fill at least 1200 jobs in aquaculture in northern Australia by 2028. Supply chain capacity Improved aquaculture supply chains in the Pilbara, Kimberley, Northern Territory and northern Queensland to reduce operating costs in northern Australia. Collaboration in Innovative Technologies and Community Engagement Enhancing networking and industry cohesion to deliver solutions to facilitate industry problem-solving. Science-based policy and regulation Continued improvement in clarified, science-based policies for aquaculture regulation, with transparent processes and timelines, enabling environmentally responsible and timely aquaculture expansion. Stronger and adaptive governance
