All stakeholders are involved in fisheries management

In connection with The EcoFishMan project is an opinion poll among stakeholders in the fisheries sector. The purpose of the survey is to seek the views of all parties involved in fishing in Iceland, whether in management or implementation.

The EcoFishMan project focuses on collaboration with fishermen, fishing and processing and the utilization of information from electronic catch diaries. The aim of the project is to promote environmentally friendly, sustainable and economic management with a special emphasis on traceability and to minimize discards. One of the goals of the EcoFishMan project is to analyze what has been successful in Icelandic fisheries management and pass on that experience. At the same time, there are plans for more co-operation with those who work in fishing and processing in the fishing industry. It is expected that the system will be implemented in stages and tailored to each type of fishery separately. Complete anonymity will be maintained during processing and all data will be handled in accordance with the instructions of the Data Protection Authority. The names of the participants will of course not appear anywhere and care will be taken that it will not be possible to trace any information in the results to individuals.

It is very important that as many people as possible answer the survey, so that the results are as reliable as possible.
