Honours research - Chinese recreational fishers

[Colette]

Hi Fishraiders,

I am a honours geography student from the University of Wollongong, conducting research to explore the knowledge, experiences and practices of Chinese recreational fishers.

If you identify as being of Chinese ancestral heritage; are 18 years of age or over; and fish recreationally in coastal metropolitan Sydney (Nowra to Newcastle, inland ok too), I want to hear your story!

Participation in the project involves two stages; ‘Talking fish’ and ‘Gone fishing’. The first stage, ‘Talking fish’ involves talking to me about why, how, what and where you fish. This conversation will last around an hour and is organised in a public place convenient with you.

The second stage, ‘Gone fishing’, involves you inviting me along on one of your usual fishing trips to a peer, jetty or beach. You can do both or one stage. It is up to you.

If you are interested in participating, please read the Participant Information Sheet attached, and contact me by email at cef055@uowmail.edu.au

If you have any other questions concerning this research project you can contact myself: cef055@uowmail.edu.au, or my supervisors: gwaitt@uow.edu.au or mvoyer@uow.edu.au

"To gain an understanding of the environmental knowledge of Chinese-Australian recreational fishers"

Why Chinese rather than any other nationalities I can't tell from the doc, it's a good question.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Chinese, because they are one of the fastest growing recreational fishing groups in Australia, and quite a few Chinese fishermen have died from fishing on rock platforms, so I want to learn more about their environmental knowledge and motivations for fishing.

Update: in order to maximise the number of participants, the study is expanding to include other Asian and South East Asian countries i.e. Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, etc.

So if you know any Asian fishers, please tell them about the study!

[mrsswordfisherman]

Thanks Colette good luck with the study.

Is this thesis aimed at Australian born Asians or Immigrated Asians? Or does it target both?

If you are short in numbers I can assist, but my roster doesn't give me much free time, let me know what you need and I'll help out as much as possible.
