Strengthening Regional cooperation in the area of fisheries data collection 2 (FishPi2)
Project
Project code: TI-SF-08-PID1912
Contract period: 01.12.2017
- 28.02.2019
Purpose of research: Networks and research co-ordination
Within the FishPi project, we developed tools and case studies for regional cooperation in biological sampling from commercial fisheries. In this project, specific recommendations for regional sampling plans will be provided, based on methods established in the first project. The Regional Coordination Groups (RCGs) have been mandated by the 're-cast' of the Data Collection Regulation (DCF) to establish regional sampling plans for fisheries data collection. Thus, the outcomes of this project can be applied directly in the RCGs to strengthen regional cooperation. The project seeks to build on the work achieved in the fishPi project, further strengthening regional cooperation, and looking to provide clear guidance on the implementation phase of regional sampling. Work packages will specifically address the operation of RCGs; scoping of regional fisheries; proposals for regional sampling plans for commercial fisheries; stomach and incidental bycatch sampling; small-scale and recreational fisheries sampling; national and regional data quality.
The project outcomes will form the basis of a consultation with the potential users of the regional plans and the resulting data and a specific work package will address training in project deliverables. The project teams will build close links with other successful consortia, and look to build both within-region expertise and pan-regional cooperation.
