Annual Report

“During the first 12 months of establishing the ASC, we have recruited staff, developed an exceptional two year business plan, established strategic partnerships and promoted our expertise and aspirations through various conferences and forums. As directed by the ASC Board, we have been successful in receiving a number of grants important to ensure immediate operations to start building our foundations for the longer term. The grants support our early stages of start-up which have attributed to the acquisition of commercial fishing licences, recruitment of staff, temporary control of the Aboriginal Fishing Mentor Program and ownership of infrastructure and operational assets.”
