This document presents the initiatives and projects from around the world involving women working in fisheries and efforts to adapt policies, ultimately providing economic benefits, social protection and the improvement of fishers' wellbeing.Press enter to go to this resource, WATCH 2020

Illegal trade within the Pacific Ocean and of its marine resources constitute a number of economic, income, and tax revenue losses. Calculations are made using income and economic impacts of illicit trading of marine resources across the value within seafood chains.Press enter to go to this resource, The Scale of Illicit Trade in Pacific Ocean Marine Resources

Documenting illegal fishing is incredibly challenging, especially when fishing is undertaken without transmitting their positions. This case study highlights the use of combined satellite technologies and big data analytics in order to shed light on IUU fishing activities of over 900 boats, collecting 200,000 tonnes of fish in North Korean waters.Press enter to go to this resource, Tracking the Dark Fleet

SALT invites you to watch the launch introduction to the Comprehensive Traceability Principles, created through a collaboration with over 30 experts to identify core principles to keep in mind when developing or improving a seafood traceability system. The Pathway to the Principles demonstrates step by step guidance as you initiate, design, and implement an electronic…Press enter to go to this resource, New Principles for Creating Electronic Traceability Systems to Address People and Planet (webinar)

The Certification and Ratings Collaboration aim to help fisheries achieve environmental sustainability and social responsibility. They have developed a framework which defines social responsibility in the seafood sector, consisting of the best and worst practices currently in place, as well as identifying tools to improve performance across stakeholders.Press enter to go to this resource, Framework for Social Responsibility in the Seafood Sector

A collaboration of key factors driving fisheries governance have been defined in this document, holding stakeholders at the core and refining the goals for effective processes. Connected by three components (policy, capacity, and performance) guidance forms a layered approach to evaluating current fisheries management structure and track governance progress.Press enter to go to this resource, Fisheries Governance Tool: Guidance Document

Implementation of technological systems requires time and money, and, when allocated appropriately, can lead to increased understanding of the operating systems and their management. A brief breakdown of the stages, methods, time frames, and costs within developing traceability systems are presented, showing the requirements of each stage and the process from start to finish.Press enter to go to this resource, Understanding Costs for Traceability Technology Implementation

This framework provides a description of practical information the Fish Trade project requires for operationalizing and implementing a functioning monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework, enabling results for decision making. This case study demonstrates the use M&E framework to set indicators, guidelines, and facilitate coordination across stakeholder groups.Press enter to go to this resource, Monitoring and Evaluation Framework: Improving food security & reducing poverty through intra-regional fish trade

The range of fisheries data users globally has increased, so the ability for these systems to communicate and transfer data seamlessly proves to be of importance, as it aids the development of policies and management plans. To meet this need, this report compiles stakeholder interviews and literature reviews to inform how the U.S. can modernize…Press enter to go to this resource, Towards Interoperable Fisheries Data Systems in the U.S.
