Data collection
We engaged BDO EconSearch to:
- collect economic data about Queensland's fisheries
- produce economic indicators for the different fisheries and sectors.
We only received aggregated data and reports that cannot be linked to individual businesses.
We provided BDO EconSearch with necessary information about the costs of managing the individual fisheries and fishing activity, confidentially and solely for the purposes of this project.
