Pangkep Polytechnic teachers visit BBOA

Posted in: Testimonials on Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Recently some students from Pangkep Polytechnic visited BBOA to learn about our organisation. See the letter received by Dr Minh Nguyen.

Dear Steven,

Sorry it has been a while to report as the students went back to their tropical environment and have only recently completed their assignments and feedbacks. These were the Pangkep Polytechnic teachers, who were sponsored by the World Bank for a short training course on Entrepreneurship and Marketing for Export in Australia- Aquaproducts.

They had a week of lectures, tutorials and visits to the Newcastle Fish Co-op, Port Stephens Research Institute and your oyster farm. Overall they enjoyed their visits and learned many things. Regarding the visit to your farm, they appreciated it very much. Two of them never tasted oyster before. They were impressed with the science and technology required  and the need to have the community, the government and the industry organisation engaged with the individual farmers. One of them would like to look at the possibility of farming oysters in South Sulawesi as his action plan from the course.

Please find attached a couple of photos taken during the visit.

Thank you again for your kind assistance.

Best regards,

Minh

NSW Oyster EMS Project

Posted in: Projects on Thursday, April 21st, 2011

An “Environmental Management System (EMS)” is a process that you put in place to identify and manage environmental impacts, risks and opportunities that affect your business.

The future of the oyster industry depends on the capacity to demonstrate that natural resources and the environment in which we work, are utilised in a sustainable, responsible way. One way of doing this is to develop an Environmental Management System to demonstrate how impacts and risks are managed.
