To trial a more automated system to improve the quality of commercial data and fishing effort for under 10 metre vessels. Participating fishermen will either fill in monthly returns online, or complete a form designed to be computer read. This project, if successful, could provide a system to replace the current Monthly Shellfish Activity Returns system. This would help to improve data for shellfish stock assessments and for checking the effectiveness of any future management measures. (1) Specify and construct a database to house the monthly shellfish data in conjunction with IFCAs and the MMO incorporating automated reporting facilities for data owners and fishery managers; (2) Construct a web-based interface in conjunction with Industry ensuring maximum data security to allow for industry to enter monthly returns direct into the database; (3) Design a computer-readable paper form in conjunction with Industry and to establish the most effective method of form reading; (4) Measure the impact upon the fishers using metrics including relative ease of form completion, time taken to complete each form, frequency of completion and frequency of submission to deadline; (5) Determine the accuracy and reliability of data, reporting on error rates.
