The “Smart Fishing Vessels” workshop builds on the WOC “Smart Ocean/Smart Industries”global program to facilitate, coordinate and scale-up data collection and sharing by oceanindustries.
The Smart Fishing Vessels workshop will identify the data collection programs, methodsand technologies available for fishing companies to use in collecting and sharing data by:
- Presenting ocean industry data-gathering experience that’s relevant to fisheries.
- Identifying constraints and opportunities for expanding the use of fishing vessels in datacollection.
- Exploring what the fishing industry can learn from other ocean industries regardingcollecting and sharing data.
- Highlighting the technology and instrumentation available for use on fishing vessels.
- Identifying the scientific priorities for fishing industry data collection, e.g. data types,locations.
