| Summary: | The SeaGuardian has the capability to undertake a range of military and non-military tasks. Development of the full business case will require reviewing a wider range of non-military applications and assessing the best ownership structure (company or government-owned) and governance arrangements applying to funding and tasking. Assessing these wider issues was out of scope for this phase. The first phase of the project focused on scoping the potential economic returns from enhanced surveillance of Antarctic Toothfish fisheries in the Ross Sea. As a first pass, we accessed readily available public and commercial information. While refinements would be possible in the future, we are confident that the data provides for a robust first pass at comparing costs and benefits.
