The Sustainable Marine Research Collaboration Agreement (SMRCA) between the Tasmanian State Government and the University of Tasmania was established to support research on Tasmanian marine resources, including commercial and recreational fisheries, wild harvest and aquaculture.
Our strategic approach to the SMRCA attempts to balance the economic, social and environmental factors that contribute to ensuring a sustainable and productive future and engaging with industry and other partners for the long term prosperity of both Tasmania and the broader Australian community.
