Book (series)Report of workshop on the harmonization of fisheries information systems in the South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) region
Flic en Flac (Mauritius), 2–4 July 2012
2012Also available in:
No results found.The SmartFish harmonization workshop has been conceived as a response to the SWIOFC 4th Scientific Committee (SC) meeting (December 2010) which recommended the development of an action plan towards the creation of a Regional Information System for the South West Indian Ocean region. The workshop was held at Pearle Beach Hotel, Flic en Flac, Mauritius from the 2nd to 5th July 2012. As agreed, this workshop brought together experts from three relevant existing information systems in the re gion (StatBase, WIOFish and FIRMS) and the FishCode-STF approach to data collection. Each system/approach was represented by two experts. Thanks to good preparatory work during the preceding month, including two web-conferences and three working documents, and very lively contributions of all participants, the workshop achieved its objectives: a technical option agreed upon for the development of the prototype of a harmonized information system, a working methodology, and a road map towa rds the presentation of the prototype together with sustainability assessment considerations to regional decision-makers during the course of the second quarter of 2013. The option retained for the prototype includes the following components: A regional portal which could either build on the SWIOFP created capacity at KMFRI (Kenya) or the FAO SWIOFC website. This portal will organize access to the data and information available in the relevant systems, focusing on target user expec tations (e.g. resource status, fishery management, sector policy making). A web-based fishery ontology organizing all concepts and reference data across the concerned systems and their mapping. This ontology will be stored in FAO/FI’s FLOD knowledge base, and will be maintained through the FAO/FI Code List Manager/Mapper built under iMarine. Web-based search services (building on tools developed in iMarine), which will be exploited by the portal to enable relevant linking and navig ation across the concerned systems. This option is the less intrusive with regards to the existing systems and essentially builds on an agreement on how to link concepts and reference data utilized under each constituent system. The sustainability and regional ownership concerns will require focus on StatBase, check the most appropriate solution for the maintenance of the Portal, and confirm the role of FAO/FI in maintaining Code lists manager/mapper and FLOD services.
