The Rock Lobster Trade: Changing Climates and the Future of Fisheries

In areas off the coast of Victoria in Southern Australia, ocean conditions are changing. Warmer currents, unpredictable storms, and shifting water chemistry present a new reality for the communities who depend on the sea.

In this episode of NorthStandard's 'Alongside' podcast, hosted by Danielle Jalowiecka, we dive into how these changes are impacting one of the ocean's most iconic creatures—the Southern Rock Lobster.

With insights from Matt Wassnig, CEO of Seafood Industry Victoria, Mia Bredenburg from Sunderland Marine, and Dr. Sam Twiname from the University of Tasmania, the episode delves into how the lobster industry is adapting to these challenges.

The discussion highlights the importance of sustainable fishing practices, robust scientific research, and strong collaboration among industry stakeholders to ensure the resilience and innovation of the sector. Through their experiences, we learn valuable lessons that extend beyond just the local industry to the broader marine industry worldwide
