Background
In many regions, the quantity and quality of fisheries dependant data
may be insufficient to support information requirements for stock
assessment, advice for management or policy-making. Information on wider
ecosystem interactions associated with fishing operations is generally
imprecise and may be insufficient to properly characterize the ecosystem
effects of fishing.
Recent technological advances such as VMS, video monitoring and
electronic logbooks have provided opportunities for addressing some of
these shortcomings. Innovative approaches have also been developed for
incorporating artisanal and fishers’ information and socioeconomic data
into the advisory process to supplement traditional fishery-dependent
data sources.
We wish to bring together scientists, managers, policy makers and
fishers from developed and developing countries to consider the range of
approaches for the collection and interpretation of fishery dependent
data. In this conference, we will consider the design and implementation
of sampling and monitoring programmes, and how these data are used in
the assessment and management process for marine communities and
ecosystems that are impacted by fishing activities. (Click
