Hi all! I just heard about the Oceans Conference in Limerick, Ireland this June. Looks like a great opportunity for the fisheries, tech and marine worlds to mingle. Maybe I'll see you there?!

Here is an exciting opportunity to join Global Fishing Watch and other partners to discuss tech and SSF. The event is a side event to the The Economist's 2nd annual World Ocean Summit Asia-Pacific in Singapore at the end of Novemeber.

More details below, and of you have any questions please contact me at abigail@blueventures.org.

Please join us for a workshop exploring how technology, transparency and data systems can accelerate recovery of small-scale fisheries.
The effective management and governance of small-scale fisheries is necessary to achieve the sustainability of global fisheries. Small-scale fisheries are responsible for nearly half of global seafood catches, employ about 90% of fisheries workers, and provide critical protein and nutrients for hundreds of millions of people.

Despite their enormous contribution, fishers and coastal communities urgently need better data to inform and adapt management plans in the face of unprecedented threats from climate change and competition from foreign and industrial fishing fleets.

Global Fishing Watch and Blue Ventures are convening partners and stakeholders to share ideas and learn how we can best work together to harness emerging technology, transparency and data systems to improve the management, monitoring and governance of small-scale fisheries.

Join our workshop: Technology and Transparency for Small-Scale Fisheries
