6. The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • Sustainability • Ecosystems • Precautionary • Rebuilding • Quotas/Catch Limits

7. The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • Property Rights • Permits • Catch Shares • IFQ’s • Community Quota’s • TURF’s

8. The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • E-Information • (Near) Real Time Systems • Hardware • Software • Internet/Web • Social Networking • Cloud-Based Systems

9. The Integrated Fishery Management System • Property Rights Sustainability • E-Information

10. Classes of “Information” Data Coherent Information Knowledge Broad Understanding

11. Tools and Enabling Technologies • Satellite-based • GPS • Communications • Remote sensing • Hardware • Electronic data loggers • Temperature/depth loggers • Bar-code readers • Electronic sensors • Communication • Cell phones • Satellite phones • Email • Internet • World-wide web • Computer-based • Data base software • GIS • Ocean models • Visualization software • Marketing kiosks • Data collection • Buoys • Doppler radar • Autonomous gliders

12. (Near) Real Time Fishery Information Needs • Quota and Harvest (Targeted and Non-Targeted) • Prices and Market Information • Weather • Environmental Information and Conditions • Stock Location and Composition • Vessel Locations • Etc….

13. Types of E-Information Fishery Sub-Systems • Individual Vessel and Processing Plant Systems • Logbooks • Fish Tickets • Observer Coverage (Human, Cameras, Sensors, etc.) • Vessel Monitoring Systems • Quota Reporting • Research and Monitoring • Ocean Observing (Buoys, Satellites, Sensors) • Fleet “Coordination” Systems • Market Traceability • Etc…

14. Issues in Designing Integrated E-Systems Legal • Privacy • Security • Contracts –(system use, data sharing) • Ownership and intellectual property rights (data, databases, e-architecture)

15. Issues in Designing Integrated E-Fishery Systems Efficiency and Planning • Integrating engineering, management, and economic objectives • Efficient use of a unit of “data” • “Old” Time versus “Near Real” Time versus “Real” Time • Meeting industry, science, management, market, and public needs • Ensuring compatibility with tomorrow’s • emerging technologies • emerging resource and management needs • emerging marketing demands and opportunities • Staging development • Supporting economic benefits and profitability • Ensuring data quality, transparency, and integrity

16. Issues in Designing Integrated E-Systems Integration • Maximizing inter-operational capacity among subsystems • Developing “standards” across systems and users • Collecting and sharing data and information • Developing “incentives” and institutions to share costs and benefits

17. Alternative e-FIS “Visions”The “Diffuse Independent Model” • Many Systems • Vessel systems • Fleet systems • Science systems • Enforcement systems • Seafood processing • Regulator systems • Little Integration, interoperability, sharing or common standards – little transparency • Many databases • Data collected multiple ways by multiple units (example—catch data five different databases) • Major Emphasis: privacy, security, independence

18. Alternative e-FIS “Visions”The “Centralized Model” • One fishery system managed by the “regulator” • Standard electronic logbook • Fleet coordinating system part of central system • Enforcement system integrated • (individual vessels and plants may maintain separate systems) • Complete integration – one standard, fully interoperable, • One database • Data collected and measured once —(example one measure of catch) • Major Emphasis: integration, central control, interoperability, one standard

19. Alternative e-FIS “Visions”The “Diffuse Contractual Model” • Many independent systems • Vessel systems • Fleet Systems • Regulator Systems • Etc… • Integration via voluntary contracts– stipulates standards, interoperability models, incentives, costs, privacy-security agreements, etc. • Databases central or diffuse -- but shared • Data collected and measured once —(example one measure of catch) • Major Emphasis: independence, voluntary cooperation, interoperability, common standards

20. Charge to Participants • E-FIS will dominate in next ten years • Can we design for efficiency (benefits exceed costs)? • Industry • Managers • Scientists • In next two days: • Gain knowledge about the “options” • Learn about the issues • Design “optimal” systems for your fishery • Develop recommendations for improving and implementing eFIS
