Synopsis (short abstract) This guide is mainly aimed at national/local fishery authorities and researchers involved in developing and implementing fishery data collection systems. It first describes recent efforts in improving fishery data collection systems involving aFADs in the WECAFC region, with focus on the Eastern Caribbean. It then builds on such efforts to propose a way forward that hinges on the potentially transformative power of information and communications technology (ICT) tools to address past and current data deficiencies. It is expected that the full uptake and implementation of many of the monitoring and data collection recommendations provided here will be incremental and will require a phased-in approach for adoption.
