About SRFME How we work Structure and Governance of SRFME TAC JVMC CSIRO WA Fisheries WA MPR WA CALM WA EPA           Research Director             Project Leaders   SRFME is managed by a Joint Venture Management Committee (JVMC) made up of the joint venture partners. There is also a SRFME Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) with members having a high level of technical expertise in marine science also drawn from the joint venture partners (see below). One of the principal ways that SRFME will deliver an enhanced marine research capability to Western Australia is through relocating and recruiting 20 CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research staff to Western Australia and by funding the capacity to carry out research by both CSIRO and other Western Australia research providers. The research expertise to be assembled by CSIRO in Western Australia has been planned in order to contribute to research outcomes in areas identified by Western Australian research and management agencies. The expertise will be in areas which complement and strengthen, rather than duplicate existing research capacity in Western Australia. SRFME’s research portfolio is structured around a program three Core Projects and a Collaborative Linkages Program. The JVMC's report The Joint Venture Management Committee's report on the research portfolio for the Strategic Research Fund for the Marine Environment is available to download as a *PDF document [240 kb]. This report, produced in June 2001, outlines the research portfolio for the SRFME, comprising the SRFME Core Research Projects developed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and the resource allocation structure for the components of the SRFME Collaborative Linkages Program. Joint Venture Partners (Management Committee) The Joint Venture Management Committee (JVMC) comprises senior executives from each of the Departments of Premier and Cabinet, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Department of Fisheries, Department of Environment, Department of Industry and Resources, and the Offi ce of Science and Innovation; and the CSIRO Chief and Deputy Chief, Marine and Atmospheric Research. The role of the JVMC is to set the strategic direction for SRFME, approve the research portfolio and project investments, oversee the operations of SRFME and monitor its performance. The JVMC members and organisations are listed under Contacts and Key People. Technical Advisory Committee This committee comprises the Project Leaders and technical experts from the relevant State Government agencies and CSIRO, and is chaired by the SRFME Research Director. The role of the TAC is to provide technical scientific advice to the JVMC and to review of project proposals. The TAC members and organisations are listed under Contacts and Key People.   *Adobe Acrobat Reader (software) is required to read this document.
