Emily Ogier
Fisheries Social Science Research Fellow
Room 112 , IMAS Taroona
Dr Emily Ogier is a Marine Social Science Research Fellow at the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies. She is interested in the human dimension of marine systems, and the way this interaction is governed through formal institutions, markets and social processes. She leads IMAS’ Human Dimensions research team, and the national Human Dimensions Research Subprogram, which is a national program funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation.
Her research focuses on public policy for marine resources and spaces, and the design of institutions and assessment processes that address the breadth of values, uses, communities, private and state actors. Her work has included a particular focused on fisheries and aquaculture sectors, although with increasing attention to the scope of the emerging blue economy, and the policy challenges arising from climate change and the political economy implications for benefit sharing and distributive justice.
Biography
Before joining the University of Tasmania, Emily was Project Officer for the Tasmanian Seafood Industry Council. Prior to that she undertook her doctoral studies at The University Western Australia where she examined multi actor governance of sub-jurisdictional archipelagos, using the Houtman Abrolhos Islands in Western Australia as her primary case study. Since joining the University of Tasmania her positions have included policy research fellow with the Marine Adaptation Network and Executive Officer of the Fisheries Economics Capability Building project with the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics.

Research Themes
Dr Ogier's research aligns to the University's research themes of Marine, Antarctic and Maritime; Environment, Resources and Sustainability; and Data, Knowledge and Decisions. Her overarching research interest is in bridging qualitative social science with decision science and decision support frameworks for marine governance.
Emily's research has included identify public and private values for marine systems affected by and affecting aquaculture in South-east Tasmania (Your Marine Values study undertaken as stage 1 of the INFORMD2 project FRDC 2012-024). Identified values, their relationship to ecosystem services, and the interactions between them, have been used to develop the qualitative model which will inform the design of the risk-based decision-support tool. Emily's findings have also been used to link environmental assessment and monitoring frameworks to public and private marine values. Through her involvement in the Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS), she is pursuing further research to determine the ecosystem service values of these shared values using both standard ecosystem services evaluation methods and non-monetary deliberative evaluation methods.
Emily is also investigating the extent to which sustainability expectations are met in Australia's fisheries management. This research includes analysis of how surrogate public values articulated in fisheries management objectives are operationalised and used to inform trade off analysis in fisheries management systems. She is also examining the extent to which these surrogate public values align with public values expressed in social movements.
Through her role as manager of the FRDC's Social Sciences and Research Coordination Program, Emily's research activity includes identifying knowledge gaps and developing resources to address challenges regarding the social impacts, acceptability and sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture. A further focus of Emily's research in this role is facilitate better integration of social sciences (including economics) and between social and biological sciences in contributing to knowledge gaps.Emily's research has also included developing frameworks, models and tools for developing and evaluating adaptation pathways for managed fisheries, through her involvement in the South-East Australian Fisheries Climate Change Program. Further research has included investigating the interaction between science knowledge and social acceptability of the salmon aquaculture industry in South-eastern Tasmania, through the UTAS-CSIRO Coastal Cluster Collaboration.
Collaboration
Dr Ogier is a member of the Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS), which is a joint collaboration between the University of Tasmania, CSIRO and the Australian Antarctic Division and brings together disciplinary expertise in physics, law, economics, biology, sociology, and governance. The focus of CMS research activity is on the complex issues that are developing in the management of the marine estate.Previously she has undertaken research under the banner of a number of collaborations, including the UTAS-CSIRO Coastal Cluster Collaboration: Knowledge Theme and the Marine Adaptation Network for the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility.

Restorative Aquaculture Scenario Planning (2023 - 2024)$12,096
- Description
- This project will evaluate a range of restorative aquaculture development scenarios, to better understand the extent to which the ecosystem services provided by the aquaculture industry may be able to generate to environmental outcomes beyond the scale of an individual farm or farms, and thereby contribute to addressing biodiversity loss, human-driven declines in water quality, and climate change. Scenarios will be established for the shellfish and seaweed aquaculture industry sectors in the U.S. that account for restorative aquaculture under BAU and short and term longer term future states, and including ecological, social, and economic values. From these scenarios the benefits of specific ecosystem services to the conservation and restoration needs of marine ecoregions along the west and east coast of the U.S. will be estimated. A peer reviewed paper will be published in 2024, along with a database of projected environmental benefits and underlying datasets that can be used by government and industry to advance shared ecological, social, and economic goals.

Sea Change: co-developing pathways to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate for fisheries and aquaculture in Australia (2023 - 2027)$1,628,586
- Description
- Project objectives Work with seafood industry leaders to establish two-way climate conversations that can strengthen and underpin Australian fishing and aquacultures resilience to a changing climate. This approach will facilitate co-design of pathways to increase agility and build capacity for climate change adaptation with a select number of fisheries and aquaculture operations. This process will also create a model that can be applicable to other RDCs. Create a climate conversations platform to facilitate knowledge exchange (including identifying gaps and shared issues), and thus capture, disseminate, and showcase: How fishing and aquaculture sectors are already adapting and responding to recent changes What has facilitated these changes made, and what the are barriers to further adaptation The story of fishing and aquacultures efforts towards achieving climate resilience - using a dynamic story map approach, and other multi-media, communicate progress to target audiences. Identify a) key factors influencing the agility of fisheries and aquaculture to adapt to climate change, and b) which factors (e.g. opportunities) are most important for adaptation capacity-building for different types of operations - building on work underway across multiple domestic and international projects and working groups. Co-develop pathways, with a select number of fisheries and aquaculture operations, to increase their agility and build sector capacity for climate change adaptation and resilience. Support the development of communities of practice for groups of fisheries and/or aquaculture operations that have similar opportunities and pathways to support increased agility and capacity building for climate change adaptation (determined in objective 3).

NESP MaC: Scoping Study: research needs for a national approach to socio-economic values of the marine environment (2021)$54,000
- Description
- This is a scoping project within the MAC NESP2 hub that is a short (6 month) small sized (60,000) project that aims to engage with DAWE and partners in the identification of research needs for managing Australia's marine estate and thus has the potential to identify key research priorities for development into full project proposals within NESP or for other funding opportunities. Effective management of the marine estate requires recognition of the fact that we live in a connected human-natural system. In addition to biophysical information, effective management requires a solid understanding of policy priorities and matched social and economic information that relates to (a) the social, economic and cultural 'values' of our marine estate; (b) best-practice ways of incorporating multiple values into policy and decision making; and (c) best-practices ways of implementing policy for successful environmental outcomes. Focusing primarily on social and economic aspects of those three issues, this project will first focus on the needs of stakeholders (particularly DAWE). It will then review existing datasets, publications and reports that may already be able to inform those needs; and identify significant knowledge gaps. Outputs will include reviews &/or synthesis workshops (to be determined in consultation with stakeholders) and a prioritised set of socio-economic research needs (some of which could also be developed as co-designed project proposals for submission in subsequent research plans).

Responding to unintended consequences - evaluating changes to fisheries under ITQ systems (2020 - 2021)$201,212
- Description
- Individual Transferable Quotas (ITQs) and Individual Transferable Effort (ITE) have been introduced to a wide range of Australian fisheries (FRDC 2017-159). Since 1985, forty-six ITQ systems have been introduced for a range of species and can be found across all jurisdictions in Australia; six ITE systems have also been introduced and relate mostly to prawn trawl operations. Such systems allocate shares or portions of a total allowable catch (TAC), or total allowable effort (TAE), between fishers, vessels, communities or others with an interest in the fishery.Experience shows that ITQs as generally designed and implemented have not always fully delivered promised outcomes, have had outcomes that were unintended, and in some instances have resulted in outcomes that make it difficult for fisheries managers to deliver against other, in many cases non-economic objectives of fisheries management. In some instances these unintended consequences may also have been inappropriately attributed to the ITQ system, and may more be down to other drivers such as globalisation or changes in stock abundance.Building on industry and management's growing interest in improving ITQ-fishery outcomes (SRL Corporatisation Workshop, Melbourne Airport, October 2019) and on the findings of FRDC 2017-159: Retrospective assessment of ITQs, this work will aim to provide evidence-based advice to management and industry on options to address any performance gaps or unintended consequences, and the potential effects of any proposed interventions on the economic, social and environmental outcomes of the ITQ system as generally implemented in Australian fisheries. The scope of options will include industry-led private sector initiatives, as well as Government-led changes to management.Experience shows that ITQs as generally designed and implemented have not always fully delivered promised outcomes, have had outcomes that were unintended, and in some instances have resulted in outcomes that make it difficult for fisheries managers to deliver against other, in many cases non-economic objectives of fisheries management.

Economic Assessment of Blue Economy (2020)$49,396
- Description
- The blue economy concept varies substantially across studies and countries. There exist different approaches to planning and evaluating blue economy. This study reviews and develops economic assessment frameworks for Sustainable BE Developments (RP5). A systematic review will be conducted to draw upon the knowledge and experience across countries/regions. Based on this, economic assessment frameworks, including national economic accounting, input-output tables, computer general equilibrium, stated, revealed and deliberative monetary valuation approaches and ecosystem service value and natural capital accounting frameworks will be developed for both market and non-market goods and services.

Aquaculture-Community Futures: North West Tasmania (2019 - 2021)$172,996
- Description
- In order to secure the future of Australian aquaculture, it is increasingly clear that, alongside effective and responsible production, building and maintaining community support is vital. The Tasmanian salmon industry is acutely aware of the need to garner and maintain societal support. A number of factors contribute towards the achievement of community acceptability (or 'social license to operate'). These include: the perception that a company offers benefits; that it contributes to the well-being of the region, respects the local way of life and acts fairly; that it listens, responds and exhibits reciprocity; and that relations are based on an enduring regard for each other's interests. Many of these factors are based on understanding, and contributing towards the achievement of, that which is valued by local and regional communities. This project aims to understand the regional development and well-being futures envisaged by residents of NW Tasmania and how salmonid farming can contribute to meeting these shared values.

Evaluation of the subsidy for the Centrostephanus fishery (2019)$40,000
- Description
- The commercial fishery for Centrostephanus rodgersii sea urchins in Tasmania has been subsidised through the Tasmanian Abalone Council for around 2.5 seasons at a cost of $0.75/kg in an effort to control increasing population numbers. Recent significant increases in total commercial catch have necessitated an evaluation of expenditure on the urchin harvest subsidy. This project will evaluate the existing spatial and economic effectiveness of the subsidy and investigate various possible future structures for the subsidy, including spatial and seasonal price structuring and the effect of possible removal or gradual reductions in the subsidy. Areas where knowledge is lacking and targeted data collection will be identified to provide guidance for future subsidy decisions.Our aims are the following: - Evaluate the existing subsidy structure and its effectiveness at achieving its original goals - Gather information from divers and processors (through survey) to identify key challenges in harvesting process, and what incentives or changes could lead to improved harvesting efficiency - Test possible alternative structures for subsidy, including reduction or cessation - Identify key areas of data collection (including method) needed to best assess the subsidy program over the next 1-3 years and to allow the formulation of an optimal urchin harvest strategy

Healthcheck Phase 2 (2017 - 2019)$251,020
- Description
- Building on preliminary scoping work undertaken as part of the Healthcheck Phase 1 project, develop a Heathcheck (i.e. ecosystem-based) assessment framework that would be suitable for state and commonwealth commercial fisheries. Proposed research elements are: a) Indicators: Evaluate the current set of indicators and link to existing management frameworks and match to operational objectives and performance indicators. This would show the match between the current reporting by States and information flow to the portal, and allow consideration of the use of substitutable indicators (Ogier).

Human Dimensions Research Subprogram Management (2017 - 2020)$383,617
- Description
- The project will conduct meta-analyses, gap analyses, synthesis and evaluation of major findings and decision-support tools from previous social science and economic research of Australian fisheries and aquaculture. It will use these research findings to inform and coordinate future FRDC RD&E investment, as well as produce specific research outputs such as meta-analysis, gap analysis, synthesis and evaluation of major findings and decision-support tools from previous social science and economic research of Australian fisheries and aquaculture. This knowledge will generate findings that will be used to develop new conceptual and analytical frameworks, as well as impact pathways, for understanding and addressing current and anticipated social and economic challenges facing fisheries and aquaculture.

Towards consistent standards for Australian fisheries management (2015 - 2016)$410,115
- Description
- This proposal was developed at the request of the Australian Fisheries Management Authority, in a call for an expression of interest on the topic. The idea of a standard for fishery management has been under discussion in AFMA for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government and expectations in the community. In developing the EOI, further consultation was held with several state jurisdictions, with interest shown by both South Australia and Tasmania in pursuing such an approach. General indications of support were obtained from the federal Department of the Environment and the Department of Agriculture. The project was discussed at the Australian Fisheries Managers Forum in November 2014 and broadly supported. Discussions with other interested parties included with the Commonwealth Fisheries Association and the Seafood CRC. This project follows on logically from a current Seafood CRC project investigating responsible fisheries management certification due for completion prior to the commencement of this project.
