These projects have been completed or are at various stages of development. The key program which the IAU implements is the Indigenous Aquaculture Strategy to deliver important outcomes sought by Indigenous participants through projects that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. As part of the biennial Australasian Aquaculture Conference and Trade Show (3-6 August 2008), the IAU held a half-day workshop to discuss the current and future operating environment within the Indigenous aquaculture sector and funded the participation of eight people from around Australia. However, the value of Australian seafood production only dropped by 1% compared to 2004/05 to AUD 2.19 billion in 2006/07.
