In addition the project will test whether electronic monitoring - video and sensor recordings - can provide the necessary documentation to support a CQM system. The project will illustrate whether full documentation of catches can support implementation, certification and traceability solutions, which require linkage to projects dealing with these issues. From January 2010 the European Council has adopted possibilities for EU Member States to conduct trials on catch quota management of cod in the North Sea, the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. As the Danish Government has worked intensively for the implementation of CQM in the new Common Fisheries Policy (to be implemented from 2013 and onwards) the project should also facilitate international cooperation on the European level to set up common standards for CQM data collection, data processing, data exchange and database development.
(1) Further develop and evaluate catch quota management of Danish fisheries by the use of electronic monitoring; (2) Examine whether electronic monitoring by the use of video footage and sensor recording can provide necessary documentation for a catch quota management system; (3) Examine whether full documentation of catches can support implementation of certification solutions and traceability.
