Project Dissemination Plan

Dissemination plan and overview on internal project communication and dissemination with communication means, structures, pathways, and timelines. This also includes an overview of planned reports, publications of different types, articles, project products, administrative documents, exploitation plans, data management plans, and other dissemination by work package and overall for the project and between work packages, including the management work package. There will be distinguished between the public and the project internal products and outcomes. The different work packages and work package leads including the project management and coordinator will directly specify and deliver work package explicit input to the dissemination plan with outcomes and products according to the respective work packages and management coverages, topics and responsibilities.

Videos and potentially manuals on best fishing and surveying practice

Provide videos and manuals on best surveying and fishing practices for focus mesopelagic species and resources The project will run cruise campaign blogs and invite journalists where relevant to cruise and trial fisheries campaigns in a coordinated manner and there will be released in a cooperation between WP2 WP3 and WP4 short introductory videos and potentially manuals of survey and fishing processes showing best fishing and surveying practice

Project internet representation established.

Establishment of a project website and portal with direct link through existing well established scientific/advisory/management portals/platforms, e.g. ICES portal (among other associated to some relevant data portals for the project). There will be established a public portal part structured according to the overall project structure and the project description, i.e. by work package and topics hereunder, giving access to the public parts of the project including publications of different types, public reports, articles, public teaching and workshop material, exploitation plan, public data products and data management plan, etc. by work package. Also, there will be established an associated project internal portal part (using the same link but with a password access sub-link for project partners) giving access to the project internal parts and reports including status and progress reports, management reports, administrative documents, minutes and reports from meetings and workshops and similar by work package. The different work packages and work package leads including the project management and coordinator will directly specify and deliver work package explicit input to the dissemination plan with outcomes and products according to the respective work packages and management coverages, topics and responsibilities.

Data Management Plan in cooperation with WP1

This plan will provide guidance on and promote efficient data management through existing data platforms to secure optimal storage, long term use, standardized designs and formats, as well as public availability of historic/new data including Data Journalism Communities for “data mining”. This will include advice on appropriate links to data sets with standardized design and format for ICES and STECF and OECD data centres as well as to EMONET, COPERNICUS and similar relevant data platforms. This also includes providing information from and connecting to other existing data platforms such as Global Fishing Watch (fishing effort maps) and other relevant stakeholder platforms.
