Where do I start in designing an electronic traceability program for seafood?

Collecting information to transfer along the supply chain has the power to provide value to a broad range of groups, yet current systems don’t typically pass on potential data benefits to other users.

Organizations often work on pilots and projects with one goal in mind, such as meeting import requirements but not better managing a fishery. Or they cannot connect these projects to existing data systems. A lack of sufficient compatibility hinders the ability of data and technology systems to realize the potential of an electronic traceability system, or support the collective action required to combat illegal fishing, social injustice, and strengthen fisheries management.

SALT believes that electronic catch documentation and traceability (eCDT) systems should be comprehensive, in that the data supports social, environmental, and economic well-being overall.

So, when designing comprehensive eCDT systems, what are the key things to consider?

SALT has worked directly with eCDT experts for over a year to create six principles that can be easily understood and geared towards developing new systems or improving existing ones. Accompanying these principles will be a Pathway to the Principles, providing step by step guidance and resources for designing, implementing, and initiating electronic traceability programs.

Case Study: The Value of Traceability for Business (PT. Nutrindo)

USAID Oceans
2019
In 2017, Nutrindo joined USAID Oceans’ network of partners to establish full-chain electronic catch documentation and traceability (eCDT) for tuna products harvested in Southeast Asia that are imported into international markets with seafood traceability requirements, like the United States and Japan. This document outlines the value of traceability for Nutrindo in this case study.Press enter to go to this resource, Case Study: The Value of Traceability for Business (PT. Nutrindo)

Fisheries Catch Documentation and Traceability in Southeast Asia: Technical Concept and Specifications (CDT 201)

USAID Oceans and Fisheries Partnership (USAID Oceans)
2017
The “CDT201″outlines USAID Oceans’ technical approach and specifications to designing, testing, and implementing a CDTS with public and private partners in Southeast Asia. This technical overview serves as a longer, more in-depth technical addendum to the non-technical conceptual overview, geared towards technical experts and service providers, academia, and other interested stakeholders.Press enter to go to this resource, Fisheries Catch Documentation and Traceability in Southeast Asia: Technical Concept and Specifications (CDT 201)
