Reef Fisheries Integrated Database (RFID) Marine Resource Management Climate change monitoring Reef transect surveys 40m x 1m x 6 transects per station 10-20 minutes per station 0-2 meters depth safe to use anywhere Species ID, size, count, habitat Simple, widely used
TAILS Collection - SPC mobile and tablet application - Allows remote data entry /Offline mode - An alternative to old paper forms - Logsheets, vessel activity + register vessels
GIS Collection Field data collection app Training of Points, lines, Polygons for FO s Offline mode (GPS enabled on Tablet) Ra ui, FAD, Fishing Grounds updating Potential to map other areas of interest
Maina Lagoon Raui (Honey Moon Island) OLD Updated (Dash)
Challenges Limited resources (training, staff, equipment) Fragmented Reporting (Paper vs Electronic) Transition of roles RFID restrictions (Access to Database) Transition to new technology
Major improvements during 2017 Fuel Subsidy Program Recruitment (Intern) E-Reporting (TAILS/ TufArt) GIS Mapping Artisanal Reporting
