Furthermore, the financial support that DPI's sponsorship provides is vital in ensuring that we can consistently host a high-quality event that reflects the efforts of the nominees and broader industry. 

This partnership is demonstrative of Sydney Fish Market and NSW DPI’s shared vision for a sustainable seafood industry.”

Sydney Fish Market would also like to thank their Award sponsors: Lindsay Australia, Fisheries Research and Development Corporation, Commercial Fishermen's Cooperative, KPMG, Aquarius Lawyers, ShoreTrade, Professional Fishers Association, K&L Gates, and DEC PR.
