Using ODK: A user guide to setting up community mobile monitoring
Guide to setting up community monitoring using mobile phone technology and an online data collection tool called Open Data Kit (ODK).
How can you build a strong governance and management system for your fishery and community? Fisheries governance systems, formal or informal, help make and enforce rules about our fisheries. Co-management and participatory decision-making help ensure that fisheries management benefits local communities. Start here to learn about secure tenure and co-management and explore other resources in the sub-categories below.
Resources
Scaling and sustaining local marine conservation (LMMA Toolkit)
This Resource Kit provides practical guidance in setting up and maintaining Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs). Each section contains a blend of practical exercises, with frequent case studies outlining experience from the field, as well as links to useful resources and existing best practice guidance.
Overview: Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (the SSF Guidelines)
This video gives a brief overview of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (the SSF Guidelines), adopted by member countries of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2014.
Diagnostic Scorecard
The Diagnostic Scorecard is used to assess and characterize the condition of several key fishery components that are critical for successful and sustainable fisheries management.
SDG Indicator 14.4.1 - Fish stocks sustainability
This course focuses on SDG Indicator 14.4.1 - Fish stocks sustainability: “Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels”. It introduces basic fisheries concepts and definitions, illustrates some technical aspects of classical and data-limited stock assessment and provides detailed guidance on process and tools for the analysis and reporting of the Indicator.
SDG Indicator 14.b.1 - Securing sustainable small-scale fisheries
This course has been designed to support countries in their data collection, analysis and reporting of SDG Indicator 14.b.1 - Securing sustainable small-scale fisheries: "Progress by countries in the degree of application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small-scale fisheries".
Mexican Baja California FEDECOOP Benthic Species Territorial Use Rights for Fishing System
The Baja California Regional Federation of Fishing Cooperative Societies (FEDECOOP) is a Territorial Use Rights for Fishing (TURF) program in Mexico. FEDECOOP consists of 13 fishing Cooperatives that collectively manage 10 TURFs to promote sustainable harvests, increase market access and power and provide stability to fishermen and fishing communities.
Fisheries Policy and Governance Analysis
Evaluate the efficacy, strengths and weaknesses of fisheries policy and the governance system.
Data-Limited Fisheries Management E-course
In this e-course you will learn about the Framework for Integrated Stock and Habitat Evaluation (FISHE), a process that can guide managers and provide scientific guidance for managing fisheries with limited data. In the e-course you will apply each of the eleven steps of the FISHE framework in a hypothetical fishery.
Territorial Use Rights for Fishing E-course
In this e-course you will learn about Territorial Use Rights for Fishing (TURF) design, explore examples of TURFs around the world and will help design a TURF in a hypothetical fishery.
