Digital transition of catch monitoring in European fisheries

Project description

Digital transition to innovative catch monitoring system for European fisheries

Optimised automatic data collection of fish size, weight and species will provide verifiable catch information and ensure correct reporting and compliance by design with fisheries regulations. It will also streamline monitoring activities for the fishing industry and regulators, and generate knowledge and data for future conservation, research and governance activities. The EU-funded EveryFish project will develop, test and promote a suite of technological innovation for a future generation Electronic Reporting System (ERS) for fully automated catch recording and reporting onboard European fishing vessels. Moreover, it will develop innovative governance strategies exploiting the automatically reported catch data. EveryFish will bring research, industry and governance actors together with technology providers so the work is grounded in the knowledge and experience of all relevant stakeholders.

Objective

The aim of EveryFish is to develop, test and promote an ambitious suite of innovative technological solutions for fully automated catch recording and reporting – a next generation Electronic Reporting System (ERS) – for use on board EU European fishing vessels, as well as to develop innovative governance strategies that make use of the automatically-reported catch data.
The EveryFish project will be a close collaboration with between research, academic, industry and governance actors, as well as technology providers across the EU and other European countries. These technological innovations will enable the sector to optimise automatic data collection to ensure correct reporting of the catch in terms of the size, weight and species. The provision of verifiable catch information and improved evidence of compliance with fisheries regulations, will streamline compliance activity for both fisheries and regulators, as well as generating knowledge and data for future conservation, research and governance activities.
