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. “All this should be with and for fishers, towards more sustainable fisheries management.” That's a wrap! Stay tuned for more @fishx__project events coming soon 🐟

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: 📲A good user experience with new tools is a priority 🤝Build trustworthy #SupplyChains: from fishers to consumers, we need certainty that our seafood is legal

🗣️ Highlight’s from @luca_marsaglia, Evangelia Tzika @EU_MARE, @larkin_kate, Jean-Pierre Cauzac CLS 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞, Aimée Leslie @WWF_Peru discussion on how the digital transition is a tool for sustainable fisheries management: 👉 need to fulfil the vision that transparency can drive fair, productive and sustainable development 👉 underscoring the need for user privacy + removing any sensitive information of SSF providing data 👉 reminder: the new EU fisheries #ControlRegulation will generate a lot of new data exchanges 👉 SSF ≠ large-scale fisheries - this sector operates very differently and brings tremendous amounts of data 👉 Build trust as we build new tools: Fishers should have a say about how data is shared and used 👉 getting high resolution data in near-real time is a challenge 👉 Interoperability: data needs to be transferable between systems for good cooperation across sea basins and borders 👉 Strong standards that are true at local, national, regional and international levels are essential 👉 If ride-sharing apps can monitor so many cars, why can’t 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: 📍Start where we are: understand how data is currently exchanged to... 🛰️Explore new frontiers: identify desires & expectations for future dataspaces + how to control the quality of data 🎣“Fishing for fish, but also fishing for data” Info collected can and should be multifunctional: support fisheries AND help improve ocean knowledge 💻data collected should be accessible to everyone, with clear rules about this

💡 insights from panel presentations and discussions with @MartaCavalle, Michèle Dubrocard @EU_EDPS, Yves van Poeke @EU_MARE, Fabian Reith 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 & Hrvoje Čeprnja 𝗪𝗪𝗙-𝗔𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗮: 👉 Digitalisation is a key tool but will not substitute national enforcement of laws 👉 small-scale fishers (SSF) need more visibility & representation - this includes co-development of digital tools 👉 robust personal data privacy frameworks are essential 👉 civil society plays an essential role to help close fishers' capacity gaps in research, tech training, building trust and more 👉 the work starts NOW to make implementation of new regulations and use of new tools successful 👉 one person cannot monitor thousands of small-scale vessels, so it's to be seen what role AI can play

The @fishx__project conference on new technologies for small-scale fishers that align with EU #fisheries law is underway! Follow the thread 🧵for insights on how ☑️EU laws can match small-scale fishers' needs ☑️ new tech can support sustainable fisheries management
