The CatchID Program
The program aims to support the development of a fully integrated documentation system.
The approach is based on a compliance by design principle where third party technology is used to automatically register all marine resources harvested in real time and with limited or no need for human interaction, and to provide relevant data to MCS authorities.
The objective is to make quota deduction possible prior to landing, reducing the room to circumvent and violate the regulations. Furthermore, the program aims to support the development of a system which will be able to trace the fishery products throughout the value chain.
This system will support documentation of the origin of the catch, assuring consumers that the product originates from ethical and sustainable fisheries, thus supporting the fight against IUU fisheries and crimes in the fisheries sector.
CatchID will make quota deduction possible prior to landing, reducing the room to violate the regulations. This will make it possible to trace the fishery products throughout the value chain.
Compliance by design architectures represents an end-to-end approach in which information is collected from the source system and distributed to the relevant public agencies.
CatchID symposium
We want to create a global meeting place for managers, scientists, policy makers, the fishery industry, exporters and marketers to present and discuss new and emerging catch identification technologies.
