OBEPAL – Project for the standardization and certification of electronic observation processes in longline gear
Pleamar program
Description
The main objective of the OBEPAL project is to standardize the methodology of electronic fisheries observation in the longline gear, which covers the collection of data, its analysis and the presentation of results, in order to achieve transparency and efficiency of the fishing activity, as well as the assurance of the reliability of the remote observation system. Over the course of 12 months of the project, the current state of electronic observation in longline gear will be analysed; all interested parties will be brought together in a Standardisation Committee, with the aim of analysing the needs and requirements of each of them; electronic observation procedures on board longline vessels will be standardised and the development of a certification methodology will begin.
Line of action:
Marine ecosystemsStatus:
FinalizadoExecution date:
2020- To know the current state of electronic observation in longline gear in terms of methodologies for data collection, analysis and presentation of results based on the requirements of each regional fisheries organization.
- To bring together all interested parties with the aim of analysing the needs and requirements of each of them in terms of the development of electronic monitoring.
- Standardizing electronic observation procedures on board longline vessels
- Obtain a “preliminary” certification methodology for stakeholder use
- Dissemination of the results of both the developed standard and the certification processes so that any interested entity can benefit from it
- Correct technical and administrative implementation of the project in accordance with the objectives pursued and the bases of the PLEAMAR 2020 call
A1. State-of-the-art documentation related to electronic monitoring will be collected, including visits to ships with MS cameras, interviews with stakeholders and management.
A2. AENOR Standardisation Committee will establish a Standardisation Committee that will bring together the identified stakeholders.
A3. Drafts of the UNE standard for electronic monitoring will be developed, which will be validated by interested parties until their final approval.
A4. Certification methodology. Methodological criteria will be proposed that will lead to a preliminary certification methodology after consultation with stakeholders.
A5. Communication. An initial communication strategy will allow to optimize communication actions during the project and that will be extended with a plan for the continuation of results.
A6. Coordination. It will include the control and monitoring of activities, coordination with stakeholders and administrative management
