Fish-X Webinar โ Preparing for future: SSF Digitalisation in the Baltic Sea and Northern Sea
Insightful discussions with industry experts, addressing challenges, and charting a sustainable future for SSF. Dive into the highlights and read the full report: https://t.co/FvIEj5qWzu
Summary of the 2023 @fishx__project conference is out: https://t.co/nb8gaHKy8s
In a nutshell, SSF digitalisation should:
๐งฐ Be fit for small-scale fishers' daily operations
๐ก Engage them as co-designers
๐ป Protect their data
๐ค Ensure interoperable & standardised datasets
Join us for a deep dive into Small-scale Fisheries Digitalisation in the Baltic Sea and Northern Sea! ๐

๐ Don't miss this opportunity!
Closing the conference, @GuillevicLaure touches on the multiple applications of data collected with digitalised fisheries explored today - from observing changing fish migration patterns and predicting future trends, to boosting ocean literacy.
โAll this should be with and for fishers, towards more sustainable fisheries management.โ
That's a wrap! Stay tuned for more @fishx__project events coming soon ๐
How do we ensure seafood #traceability from bait to our plate, and how do we best tailor new platforms and dataspaces for sustainable fisheries management? Top-level takeaways from this afternoon's breakout sessions:
๐ฒA good user experience with new tools is a priority
๐คBuild trustworthy #SupplyChains: from fishers to consumers, we need certainty that our seafood is legal
๐ฃ๏ธ Highlightโs from @luca_marsaglia, Evangelia Tzika @EU_MARE, @larkin_kate, Jean-Pierre Cauzac CLS ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐, Aimรฉe Leslie @WWF_Peru discussion on how the digital transition is a tool for sustainable fisheries management:
๐ need to fulfil the vision that transparency can drive fair, productive and sustainable development
๐ underscoring the need for user privacy + removing any sensitive information of SSF providing data
๐ reminder: the new EU fisheries #ControlRegulation will generate a lot of new data exchanges
๐ SSF โ large-scale fisheries - this sector operates very differently and brings tremendous amounts of data
๐ Build trust as we build new tools: Fishers should have a say about how data is shared and used
๐ getting high resolution data in near-real time is a challenge
๐ Interoperability: data needs to be transferable between systems for good cooperation across sea basins and borders
๐ Strong standards that are true at local, national, regional and international levels are essential
๐ If ride-sharing apps can monitor so many cars, why canโt we do the same for vessels at sea?
How do we overcome the challenges of onboarding SSF in a digital transition and the limits of data exchanges in the fisheries sector? Top-level takeaways from this morning's breakout sessions:
๐Start where we are: understand how data is currently exchanged to...
๐ฐ๏ธExplore new frontiers: identify desires & expectations for future dataspaces + how to control the quality of data
๐ฃโFishing for fish, but also fishing for dataโ Info collected can and should be multifunctional: support fisheries AND help improve ocean knowledge
๐ปdata collected should be accessible to everyone, with clear rules about this
๐ก insights from panel presentations and discussions with @MartaCavalle, Michรจle Dubrocard @EU_EDPS, Yves van Poeke @EU_MARE, Fabian Reith ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ก & Hrvoje ฤeprnja ๐ช๐ช๐-๐๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ:
๐ Digitalisation is a key tool but will not substitute national enforcement of laws
๐ small-scale fishers (SSF) need more visibility & representation - this includes co-development of digital tools
๐ robust personal data privacy frameworks are essential
๐ civil society plays an essential role to help close fishers' capacity gaps in research, tech training, building trust and more
๐ the work starts NOW to make implementation of new regulations and use of new tools successful
๐ one person cannot monitor thousands of small-scale vessels, so it's to be seen what role AI can play
