Development and deployment of a pilot multilingual citizen- science mobile application for georeferenced marine catch observations in India
To enhance marine fishery advisory services in India, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) has launched ‘Fisheries Information Source Hub (FISH)’, a pilot multilingual citizen-science mobile application. This innovative approach empowers fishers to contribute georeferenced marine catch observations, generating high-frequency data crucial for species-specific fishery predictions. Initial deployment demonstrates significant success, with a 20-fold increase in data submissions.
Scaling up Arctic conservation: why large marine ecosystems should drive ecosystem-based marine conservation
Achieving effective Arctic conservation demands a shift toward integrated, ecosystem-based management (EBM). This perspective highlights a critical need to move beyond isolated conservation and management approaches, advocating for convergence at ecologically meaningful spatial scales. Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) offer a compelling framework, given their ecological relevance and transboundary nature, requiring coordinated action among Arctic states.
