S1 00:06	[music Title Slide, Marine Aquaculture, farming prawns on the Gold Coast, Queensland] 
[Footage of aerial view of bus among aquaculture ponds, a bus drives on a road between them. Then zooms in to get closer]
My name's Nick Moore and I'm the General Manager, Gold Coast Marine Aquaculture. 
[Nick Moore, face to camera, interspersed with images of the aquaculture pools, shows aerators, and a golf cart driving around the pools. Man gets out of the vehicle, and uses a net to pull up some of the prawns, looks at them then lets them go. He gets into the vehicle again and moves to the next access point, then back to fact to camera]
Well we're called prawn farming, I guess, because it's a farming operation in the true sense of the word. What we're doing is nothing different to what people have done terrestrially for thousands of years. Basically taking an animal, breeding it, growing it in a high intensity situation, literally putting a fence around it. And selecting it when it's ready to be caught and served up to the public. So it's a farm in every true sense of the word and now the Government has recognized us as agriculture as opposed to fisheries. We were always counted as fisheries and now we're actually more agriculture.	
S1 00:44	[face to camera then shows forklift taking a large blue crate off the back of a truck. The crate has a white foamy liquid in it. ]
Qualifications, I guess, back when I started, which was almost 30 years ago, didn't really  exist in Australia, other than being marine biologist, I guess, in the hatchery. But from a farming point of view, it was experience for me. I have got qualifications and I now have a diploma in agriculture, I've got my certificate in environmental management.  I certainly didn't have them in the beginning.	
S1 01:02	[Footage shows the liquid being poured out, and the prawns being put into a large stainless steel vat. Then they are graded on a conveyor belt, then there are scenes of further processing. ]
What I did do was try to find people from overseas that had experience within agriculture around the world. I can honestly say I think we found out what not to do. But the techniques employed in other countries certainly weren't usable within Australia because of our environmental standards and our quality controls. And it hasn't changed. It's one of the things that we can hang our hat on, that the quality, the effort, the whole standard of operations within Australia are absolutely world-class.
[Prawns are put into large baskets then dropped into vats of boiling water, then when cooked, being decanted onto large vats full of ice, then face to camera]
And I've travelled the world extensively in prawn farming and this is the best place to farm in the world, guaranteed. There's nothing better for me, and my guys and girls, that when you've looked after animal that you've bred and then you've grown that it's entire life - you've given it everything it needs - and you've got something that you've sold it at the other end, that your customer applauds you with, there's nothing better than that. That's way better than adding up numbers on a page. You cannot beat that feeling.[Scenes of the prawn farm again, aerator etc zooms out, aerial shots fade] [music]. [ AgriFood logo]
