Marine conservation strategy planning

Tender description

WWF views Remote Electronic Monitoring with cameras and gear sensors (hereafter referred to as REM) as a technological development with the potential to greatly enhance the ability for fisheries and governments around the world to improve their data collection, monitoring, accountability and minimise the risk of IUU in both artisanal and industrial fisheries. WWF is seeking to commission a suitably experienced consulting firm or individual to research and compile a report that identifies what best practice looks like (in different scenarios), outlines what the key steps are that are required to set in place an effective REM system and where at different levels — global, regional and national — advocacy efforts will be best directed. More information about the objectives, suggested methodology and deliverables are described at: https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8479e4f3-d625-404f-9520-2d7ed3de5562 WWF views remote electronic monitoring with cameras and gear sensors (hereafter referred to as REM) as a technological development with the potential to greatly enhance the ability for fisheries and governments around the world to improve their data collection, monitoring, accountability and minimise the risk of IUU in both artisanal and industrial fisheries.
