This comprehensive final FRDC report led by Sea Change Australia’s Dr Rachel Kelly, and authored by other team members including Dr Liam Fullbrook, and Professor Gretta Pecl, delivers a systematic review of behavioural interventions relevant to Australia’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors. It explores the psychological, social and environmental factors that influence behaviour – including motivation, capability and opportunity – and examines which types of interventions are most likely to achieve positive outcomes such as stewardship, safety and sustainability.

The report also outlines potential limitations, ethical considerations, and areas for future targeted trials to ensure behaviour change efforts are effective, context-specific and trusted by industry.
