The West Coast Electronic Fishery Information Systems Workshop held on May 3-4, 2011, in Portland focused on enhancing fisheries management through improved data integration and technology adoption. Key objectives included addressing specific fishery challenges, discussing core issues, and exploring alternative visions for fishery systems. Experts shared insights on the importance of coherence, transparency, and real-time data access, highlighting technological advancements and their potential economic benefits. The workshop served as a platform for stakeholders to collaborate on developing effective, integrated electronic fishery management systems.

The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • Sustainability • Ecosystems • Precautionary • Rebuilding • Quotas/Catch Limits
The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • Property Rights • Permits • Catch Shares • IFQ’s • Community Quota’s • TURF’s
The Three “Fishery Revolutions” • E-Information • (Near) Real Time Systems • Hardware • Software • Internet/Web • Social Networking • Cloud-Based Systems
The Integrated Fishery Management System • Property Rights Sustainability • E-Information
Classes of “Information” Data Coherent Information Knowledge Broad Understanding
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
(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….
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…
Issues in Designing Integrated E-Systems Legal • Privacy • Security • Contracts –(system use, data sharing) • Ownership and intellectual property rights (data, databases, e-architecture)
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
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
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
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
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
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
