REPORTS & PROCEEDINGS

From the abstract: Electronic monitoring (EM) using on-vessel cameras can effectively collect a broad range of data to support fisheries management. Key advantages of EM include its flexibility, scalability, verification capability, and the avoidance of health, safety and logistical challenges that human observer deployments can involve. EM can also offer cost efficiencies relative to other …

The Working Group on Technology Integration for Fishery-Dependent Data (WGTIFD) examines electronic technologies and applications developed to support fisheries-dependent data collection, both on shore and at sea, including electronic reporting (ER), electronic monitoring (EM), positional data systems, and observer data collection. This report provides a summary over the 3-year period of the …

The oceans are at an inflection point. The excesses of the 20th century — over-exploitation of most of our accessible biological resources, over-pollution by plastics and other chemicals, over-crowding of coastal and marine space by unorganized and competing interests and over-capitalization of extractive industries — are being tempered by a rapidly growing realization that these excesses are …

FROM THE REPORT: In February 2020, at the National Electronic Monitoring Workshop in Seattle, several electronic monitoring (EM) service providers initiated a conversation about interoperability and other opportunities for pre-competitive collaboration. This conversation led to the creation of this project which has brought together many of the world’s EM service providers. CEA Consulting …
