Advancing Global Implementation of Electronic Methods for Fishery Monitoring and Enforcement

In this report we synthesize lessons taken from an analysis of 14 existing Electronic Monitoring (EM) programs in order to identify the main characteristics, drivers and design considerations associated with successful implementation and scaling of EM into an effective management regime. This guide is intended to help fishermen, fishery scientists, fishery managers, seafood buyers, technologists, data scientists and other stakeholders to evaluate opportunities and approaches for EM application and to identify and overcome barriers to successful scaling.
