Seafood Industry Australia is committed to ensuring there is appropriate consultation between the Australian seafood industry and oil and gas companies on matters including impact, access, regulation and the long-term impacts to fish-stocks from petroleum-related activities.

To that end, SIA has facilitated a series of frank conversations between the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) and interested parties on what adequate consultation with oil and gas companies means, and how it can be done better. 

SIA is a member of the NOPSEMA Transparency Taskforce Steering Committee and recently chaired a reinvigorated Seafood and Petroleum Industry Roundtable.
