USVI & Puerto Rico Digital Deck Pilot Project Project Update April 22-23, 2014 Charles Steinback

Develop, test, and implement an electronic catch report system to support: Improve tracking and quality of fisheries data Demonstrate how it could aid harvest management decisions (ACLs) Provide fishers access to personal catch information for fishery and business management Lead the field in electronic reporting Goals

Phase 1 Worked with fishers to design a digital platform based on the current catch reporting system Key features identified Developed for user experience Recruited and trained commercial fishers 15 on St. Thomas 7 on St. Croix 4 on Puerto Rico Dashboard designed to allow agencies to access, review, and approve catch report data

Partners & Timeline Partners St. Croix, St. Thomas and Puerto Rico Fishers USVI Division of Fish & Wildlife, PR Department of Natural & Environmental Resources, Caribbean Fishery Management Council, and NOAA Fisheries and Southeast Fisheries Science Center One year project, began July 2013 Months 1-3: Needs assessment Months 2-3: System design Months 3-7: Prototype & testing Months 8-12: System expansion, next steps

USVI

Puerto Rico

Phase 1 Status Usage Statistics 27 fishers using app 428 reports submitted in the last 7 months Average of 16 Range of 2-65 Agency Dashboard ready for field testing NOAA database link needs to be tested

Key Lessons Co-developing app with fishers is key Project Structure Long distance Limited resources Hardware issues Fishing schedules Double reporting Incentives need to be aligned with fisher interests Desktop app will recruit more fishers

Recommendations Capitalize on early investment and momentum to scale up in the region Making app scalable and adoptable to region Create on-island support systems Have fishers use their own hardware Apps (iOS, Android) and Desktop app Coordinate with agencies on report accounting in timeliness and quality of data Ensure NOAA data link

Codify paperless process for participants Ensure agency confidence in timeliness and quality of data Ensure NOAA data link in timeliness and quality of data Recommendations

Phase 2 Expansion of use Attract 30 additional users Place mobile app in App Stores, deliver desktop app Hire on island technical and logistical support Roadmap to implementation Electronic submission viable option Work with partners to identify steps and timeline Identify policies, regulations, legal framework Develop data and database standards for ER Continue Digital Deck Development Target updates and features for Phase 2

Funding Phase 2 total cost – $375,000 Expansion/On-island support $145,000 Roadmap for implementation $120,000 Continued development $110,000
