| Establishing the ISSGs, which lay the basis to panregional work, knowledge exchange and experts networking. Introducing all-year around subgroup work | |||
| Work in progress: Starting a case study on Regional Sampling of Baltic Sea pelagic fisheries involving experts of almost all member states. Experience will serve for further regional sampling studies | |||
| Work in progress: Fish’n’Co, a panregional project within the RCGs to develop, test, enable and maintain regional work plans and regional sampling schemes | |||
| Setting up, maintaining and running a RCG github to enhance transparency and enable panregional and regional cooperation in several ISSG that mainly deal with RDB and survey data | |||
| Introducing Upload logs that accomapny the uploads of sampling and census data to the RDB to enable quick overviews of data transmission failures, problems and possible database shortcomings | |||
| Increasing the cooperation with several ICES working groups (e.g. WGBIOP, WGDATA, WGCATCH and WGBFAS) including knowledge exchange, data products and recommendation to enhance each other’s work | |||
SHINYR CATCH AND EFFORT OVERVIEWS
A mulitfunctional ShinyR application that enables to view and aggregate sampling data from the RDB format to be used in the RCG ISSG. E.g. case studies and regional work plans.
HTML CATCH AND EFFORT OVERVIEWS
Semi-flexible HTML overviews of national fisheries census data of the current assesssment year.
MULTIANNUAL OVERVIEWS
Semi-flexible HTML overviews of national fisheries census data going back in time (3-5 years)
RECOMMENDATION AND DECISION DATABASE
Recommendation data base that gives quick and easy overviews on past, present and running recommendation and decisions made/received by the RCGs.
Level of Ambition interactive infographic is an output of Fishn’Co project in close collaboration with ISSGs and RCGs experts. The infographic is the result of the compilation, identification and analysis of the status of regional coordination and it is aimed to inform the design of the RWP structures.
