There is a lot that happens behind the scenes in sustainable fishing, and here’s an example aboard a boat in Mexico! Did you know?💡 MSC certified fisheries are required to collect a range of quality information to support effective fisheries management. One way this is done is by having on-board observers collect the data. These observers are independent specialists stationed on board commercial fishing vessels as part of at-sea monitoring programs. Accurate data about the catch helps establish the status of fish stocks, understand the impacts of fishing on bycatch species and set sustainable fishing limits. Another reason why collaboration is key 🔑 #SustainableFishing #SustainableSeafood #Fishing #DataCollection #Scientists #Mexico #Sonora
