Today I presented at the International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS). This morning I "presented" at the International Coral Reed Symposium on mobile monitoring.
Sadly, access is for attendees only, but if you are taking part this week please check it out!

An interesting paper that looks at which indicators are critical for site-based conservation effectiveness. A specific takeaway was the need to have 'on the ground monitoring (digital)' which is standardised for management - to ensure decisions are not based on an individual managers knowledge where there may be no clear outcome.

Hi everyone!
We are excited to pull together this Global Octopus Network on the SSF Hub! Welcome!
This group's intention is to facilitate the exchange of information on current octopus management approaches, share lessons learned and successful practices, answer questions, and address challenges.
Octopus are a globally important species harvested around the world. Octopus fisheries are closely tied to food security, culture, and coastal livelihoods. The unique life history characteristics of octopus provide both opportunities as well as challenges to resource management. Despite their importance to small-scale fisheries around the world, information about the successful management of octopus fisheries remains opaque.
Over the next few months, we will be working invite new people working on octopus to the group. We would like this to be an active and dynamic space for fishers, fisher and community leaders, local NGOs and others working on octopus to connect and share their experiences with each other. Please feel free to connect others you think may be interested by sending them a link and letting them know they can click on the button on the top right to join.

We also will be setting up some discussion topics that we believe are of interest, including:
- Markets and value chains
- Evaluations and Assessment methods
- Co-management and management strategies
- Illegal Unreported and Unregulated fishing activity (IUU)
- Fisher experiences and advocacy
- Risks and resilience:
- Climate change and impacts
- COVID-19
- Octopus project financing
This list of discussion topics will grow based on the interest of group members and we encourage you to take an active role in developing discussions.

One of the things that struck me in how many of the stories I hear about how communities have adapted to COVD and that also stood out during the conversation at this TBTI event was that a local community member or sometimes a local hire by NGOs or government frequently plays a critical role in connecting the work being done and the stories at a local level to national or regional scales. I wonder how we can continue to build on this role or capacity within communities?

Anybody else who attended this seminar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea9JrSNFKwY It was fascinating. Stuart from COBI unpacked the paradigm behind pescadata which seems to centre on a knowledge economy but with strong data ownership principles.
