As part of the Barred Sand Bass* FIP activities, Pronatura Noroeste and the Regional Federation of Cooperative Societies of the Baja California Fishing Industry FSL (FEDECOOP) began a pilot program of the “Online logging system” in the meeting held between April 24th and 25th in Punta Abreojos (Baja California Sur).
The application, developed in the Pronatura Center for Conservation Information, will be utilized by FEDECOOPO fishery technicians to record catch data and biological aspects, as well as optimize the administration of the database.
“One of the fundamental aspects of the FIP is information, therefore we constantly work on reviewing and systematizing it, from how it is collected, what types of field formats are used, what we do, and when we receive it,” said Dr. Carlos Álvarez Flores, Fisheries Science Coordinator for Pronatura Noroeste.
Concentrating the data used in the “Online logging system” will allow the Barred Sand Bass FIP collaborators to have solid information for making decisions about the management of the fishery.
In the coming months, Pronatura Noroeste and FEDECOOP will develop improvement actions with the barred sand bass fishery in Punta Abreojos, with a view toward 2023.
