The ICES Working Group on Technology Integration for Fishery-Dependent Data meets this week in Aberdeen. This group’s ambition is to exchange information on technical applications and policy development to harmonize how data is collected and used for fisheries management and science. This group “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. WGTIFD has diverse membership including technology service providers, academic and governmental marine institutions, and non-profit environmental organizations, across a wide range of EU, US, and additional fisheries from the world.” (ICES WGTIFD report 2023)
