How can we help manage fisheries?

We believe the sustainable management of our fisheries depends on the quality of the data collected. That's why we built VESL, a fisheries data infrastructure to accommodate diverse data collection needs while establishing robust data validations. This ensures that the best available data is provided to managers, enabling them to make informed and balanced decisions that support both the ecological and economic health of our fisheries.

OUR APPROACH

Building a strong data infrastructure requires identification, collection, and integration. The identification starts with a group of stakeholders with a vested interest in the health and management of the fishery must be identified. Identification brings clarity to the data collection of critical events that impact the conditions of the fishery. The results of data collected must then be integrated into the scientific and regulatory processes to make educated decisions on proper management of the fishery.
