Need

There is a need for greater efficiency in government while reducing red and green tape, simplifying regulation and pursuing sustainable and profitable fisheries. In doing so, fisheries management also aims to gain and maintain the trust and confidence of fishery stakeholders and the general public by ensuring management is a transparent and participatory process. The current operating environment for fisheries and fishing businesses involves a range of practices and policies applied by a range of regulators with lack of consistency at whole of government level and among jurisdictions considerable duplication in process. There would be considerable benefits to reducing this complexity by adopting nationally agreed standards for fisheries management. While this is clearly a task for government, a strategic research project could assist by reviewing existing international standards and domestic arrangements, and by laying the groundwork for a national debate about consistent and agreed fisheries management standards that would reduce costs for industry, simplify the task for fishery regulators, while simultaneously meeting public expectations for transparent processes and good fisheries management.

Objectives

1. Review existing and emerging standards for fisheries management
2. Benchmark current management practices – regulatory processes, policies, guidelines and standards – across all Australian fishery management jurisdictions
3. Identify options for a national set of auditable standards for fisheries management in Australia

2015-203-DLD Fisheries Agency Guidelines.pdf

Summary

The project was developed in consultation with the Australian Fisheries Management Authority and State/Territory fisheries agencies. The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community. The main output of this project is a set of guidelines provided in a Guidance Document, which are provided as a stand-alone component of this final report (Box 1). This final report provides only a high level overview of the project for reporting purposes, and we suggest most readers will get all they need from the Guidance Document.

At the first project meeting held in November, the team scoped the landscape of related projects to identify synergy; worked to understand and develop definitions of standards, benchmarks and guidelines; reviewed market place trends and discussed the implications of all of these on Australian fisheries. The meeting brought out differing views on project scope and on what type of standard would be developed. One of the main discussion points was the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There was broad agreement that there are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries (less so for smallscale, low-value, data-deficient fisheries), but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed.

Summary

The project was developed in consultation with the Australian Fisheries Management Authority and State/Territory fisheries agencies. The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

Summary

The project was developed in consultation with the Australian Fisheries Management Authority and State/Territory fisheries agencies. The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines.

The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

The idea of a publicly available set of standards or guidelines for marine fishery management agencies has been under discussion within fisheries agencies for some time and is consistent with broader directions in government policy and expectations of stakeholders and the broader community.
As a step towards creating a national standard for fisheries management, this project has focused on creating a best practice method, through the development of National Fisheries Management Guidelines. The Guidelines provide a framework regarding the approaches and information that will help them achieve best practice and ultimately lead to the development of a standard if sought in the future. We note the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries and the seafood they harvest, but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed. As a step towards creating standards for fisheries management, a best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better than those achieved by other means. In this sense, the Guidelines provide information to fishery management agencies and their stakeholders regarding the approaches that will help agencies pursue their objectives.
In summary, this document:
1. Outlines the need for Guidelines and their context
2. Describes how the functions were identified and tested
3. Describes the functions
4. Shows application to agencies
5. Provides guidance on how to implement these Guidelines
6. Shows application to fisheries via a set of case studies
These Guidelines should be reviewed and updated on a five year basis, as best practice will certainly evolve over that period of time.

At the first project meeting held in November, the team scoped the landscape of related projects to identify synergy; worked to understand and develop definitions of standards, benchmarks and guidelines; reviewed market place trends and discussed the implications of all of these on Australian fisheries. The meeting brought out differing views on project scope and on what type of standard would be developed. One of the main discussion points was the difference between a product standard, and a process standard. There was broad agreement that there are many fishery product standards, applicable to a range of fisheries (less so for smallscale, low-value, data-deficient fisheries), but there are fewer process standards relating to how fisheries are managed.

Need

There is need to collect accurate and robust information on recreational fishing levels to inform fisheries management. Recreational fishing estimates are critical to ensure sustainable harvest of community owned fisheries resources. In South Australia, established Fishery Management Plans are in place and recreational catch must be monitored to ensure that the sector is operating within its allocated shares of the resource. Recent changes to the availability of traditional sampling frames and shifts in the way the people communicate mean that it is becoming increasingly cost-prohibitive to undertake surveys using the established methodology. There is a need to re-evaluate how recreational fishing catch and effort is assessed and to develop revised survey methodologies using the latest survey tools and techniques.

Smartphone applications may provide a cost-effective method to collect information on recreational catch. However, as most apps are self-selected, sampling is non-probability based and it is not possible to calculate confidence intervals or margins of error. There is a need to compare app-based data with traditional phone-diary surveys to compare estimates and evaluate the accuracy of the results measured relative to independent population benchmarks. The outputs from this project will provide valuable information to other jurisdictions who have existing apps or are looking to implement an app.- based survey

Objectives

1. To design and implement a survey of South Australian recreational fishers to determine participation and catch and effort levels for key species.
2. To evaluate the differences and in recreational catch estimates from smart-phone applications and traditional phone diary surveys.
3. To explore whether smart-phone applications can be feasibility integrated into future recreational fishing surveys.
4. To measure the accuracy of catch estimates from smart-phone applications relative to independent population benchmarks.
5. To outline the policy and regulatory needs and implications of implementing a smart phone based reporting app.

Summary

Information on recreational catch and effort is becoming increasingly important to inform fishery stock assessment and the sustainable management of fisheries resources. As smartphone applications ('apps') become more sophisticated and widely available, they are increasingly being used to record recreational fishing activity, presenting an opportunity to collect non-probability data. However, the self-selected nature of data collection through apps introduces potential biases, necessitating comparative studies with traditional probability-based surveys to assess these biases as well as the accuracy and precision of app-based data. This study aims to compare a traditional probability-based survey with app-based data collection to compare estimates, assess bias and utility, and provide guidance for the future development of app-based data collection methods. 
 
The lack of regularly collected data that can provide a precise estimate of catch and effort for a range of species caught by recreational fishing presents significant challenges for fishery stock assessment and management. Traditional probability-based methods, for example stratified phone surveys, are regarded as providing the most robust estimates of catch and effort for recreational fisheries. However, these surveys are often expensive, conducted infrequently, and may not provide the species-specific information at the spatial and temporal scales required to inform stock assessment and effective management. Smartphone apps offer a promising complementary option for data collection due to their ability to gather large volumes of information in real-time. However, challenges arise regarding representativeness of the data, low participation due to technological barriers, engagement issues, quality control, and privacy and security concerns. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and suitability of a smartphone application for collecting data on recreational catch and effort, offering an innovative approach while considering the associated advantages and disadvantages.

 

The review of existing technologies and knowledge assets highlighted some of the challenges faced by probability-based surveys due to changing communication practices and sampling limitations. Although smartphone apps are acknowledged for their potential to engage users and collect recreational fishing data, they have limitations such as participant non-response and possible unknown biases that may affect reported catch rates and data quality. It was acknowledged that recruiting participants without a license frame is challenging, requires substantial communication investment, and that private companies may be able to advance app technology for broader user appeal. While app-based data collection is likely to complement probability-based methods, successful implementation requires validation, bias control, user-friendly design, transparency, and measures to ensure adequate recruitment and retention. Key to this is addressing concerns around privacy, security, and representativeness to encourage app adoption, which has the potential to promote the collection of near real-time data to inform fisheries assessment and management.

 
The study's findings have several implications for fisheries managers, scientists, and policymakers:
- Firstly, the study highlights the potential for using a combination of app-based data and probability-based survey data to obtain reliable and comprehensive information about the recreational fishing community.
- Secondly, stakeholders should view app-based data collection as a complementary approach to probability-based surveys.
- Thirdly, there is a need to increase the number of participants in app-based data collection to improve the accuracy of results.
 
In conclusion, this study provides recommendations for further work to improve recreational fishing data collection methods. It emphasises the importance of ongoing collaboration between stakeholders and scientists to improve the tools and techniques used to collect data. By implementing these recommendations, stakeholders can strive for more accurate, representative, and reliable data, leading to better-informed decisions concerning the sustainable management of recreational fisheries resources.

- Firstly, the study highlights the potential for using a combination of app-based data and probability-based survey data to obtain reliable and comprehensive information about the recreational fishing community.
- Secondly, stakeholders should view app-based data collection as a complementary approach to probability-based surveys.
- Thirdly, there is a need to increase the number of participants in app-based data collection to improve the accuracy of results.
 
In conclusion, this study provides recommendations for further work to improve recreational fishing data collection methods. It emphasises the importance of ongoing collaboration between stakeholders and scientists to improve the tools and techniques used to collect data. By implementing these recommendations, stakeholders can strive for more accurate, representative, and reliable data, leading to better-informed decisions concerning the sustainable management of recreational fisheries resources.

Summary

Information on recreational catch and effort is becoming increasingly important to inform fishery stock assessment and the sustainable management of fisheries resources. As smartphone applications ('apps') become more sophisticated and widely available, they are increasingly being used to record recreational fishing activity, presenting an opportunity to collect non-probability data. However, the self-selected nature of data collection through apps introduces potential biases, necessitating comparative studies with traditional probability-based surveys to assess these biases as well as the accuracy and precision of app-based data. This study aims to compare a traditional probability-based survey with app-based data collection to compare estimates, assess bias and utility, and provide guidance for the future development of app-based data collection methods. 
 
The lack of regularly collected data that can provide a precise estimate of catch and effort for a range of species caught by recreational fishing presents significant challenges for fishery stock assessment and management. Traditional probability-based methods, for example stratified phone surveys, are regarded as providing the most robust estimates of catch and effort for recreational fisheries. However, these surveys are often expensive, conducted infrequently, and may not provide the species-specific information at the spatial and temporal scales required to inform stock assessment and effective management. Smartphone apps offer a promising complementary option for data collection due to their ability to gather large volumes of information in real-time. However, challenges arise regarding representativeness of the data, low participation due to technological barriers, engagement issues, quality control, and privacy and security concerns. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and suitability of a smartphone application for collecting data on recreational catch and effort, offering an innovative approach while considering the associated advantages and disadvantages.

 

The review of existing technologies and knowledge assets highlighted some of the challenges faced by probability-based surveys due to changing communication practices and sampling limitations. Although smartphone apps are acknowledged for their potential to engage users and collect recreational fishing data, they have limitations such as participant non-response and possible unknown biases that may affect reported catch rates and data quality. It was acknowledged that recruiting participants without a license frame is challenging, requires substantial communication investment, and that private companies may be able to advance app technology for broader user appeal. While app-based data collection is likely to complement probability-based methods, successful implementation requires validation, bias control, user-friendly design, transparency, and measures to ensure adequate recruitment and retention. Key to this is addressing concerns around privacy, security, and representativeness to encourage app adoption, which has the potential to promote the collection of near real-time data to inform fisheries assessment and management.
