Description
A telephone survey of Department of Fisheries' stakeholders was conducted in November 2002 in order to evaluate their perception of the Department's management of commercial and recreational fishing, pearling and aquaculture, and fish and fish habitat protection. The survey also assessed satisfaction with the level of service provided to stakeholders and their involvement in the decision making process.
The sample comprised of 149 interviews - 40 representing the commercial fishing sector, 40 representing the recreational fishing sector, 40 representing fish and fish habitat protection, and 29 representing aquaculture and pearling.
In general, the stakeholders gave positive responses regarding the Department of Fisheries' management of the four sectors. Comments were recorded about the areas in which the Department was doing well and suggestions were given for improvements.
The majority of stakeholders were satisfied or very satisfied with the level of service they received from the Department of Fisheries.
Most stakeholders were satisfied or very satisfied with the level of involvement of their stakeholder group in the Department's decision-making process. However, a number of improvements were suggested.
The usefulness of certain Department of Fisheries' products was also ascertained. Many were considered very useful, others only moderately so.
