Wapil 2- a project that aims to boost Torres Strait Islander participation in the local fishing industry and increase economic benefit to communities in the Torres Strait has launched.
The 3-year project, led by the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA), aims to facilitate growth through enhanced fishing participation and infrastructure partnerships for seafood handling, improved supply chains and marketing.
TSRA Chairperson Napau Pedro Stephen AM said “What we are delivering here is the whole package to ensure we create a sustainable, economically viable and culturally sensitive fishing industry for our people to manage and prosper. It’s also an integrated system from the sea to the factory and on to domestic and overseas markets.”
