This information provides deep insight into marine ecosystems, guiding reactive and responsible management practices. Challenges emerge when catch data are manually recorded and stored, such as on paper, elevating the risk of data loss. Yet converting disparate handwritten logs into a unified digital format demands innovation and meticulous effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For almost a decade I have witnessed the struggles of small-scale fishers and data collectors across Southeast Asia. They contend with intricate and labour-intensive methods, relying on manual systems for the entire collection, validation, cleaning, and analysis process.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31334\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31334\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31334 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-536x357.jpg 536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-725x483.jpg 725w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-98x65.jpg 98w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-1300x867.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_3631-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1067;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We assist women with measuring fish length in Malapascua, the Philippines. | Image: Megan Francis<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue Ventures equips communities to lead data collection and mobilizes individuals to steward the information that can shape the future of their fisheries.

They were also time-consuming, limiting our CBO partners&#8217; availability to assist and train small-scale fishers. As holders of the data, we also faced challenges in ensuring real-time analysis and presentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The introduction of the MACRO system, which compiled digitised data in Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets, continued to present obstacles as it required a computer with connectivity and specific software often impractical in field conditions. Not only did data collectors face difficulties using the software, but they were also forced to dedicate additional time and money to access the internet, creating another barrier to data retrieval.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Using the MACRO system was indeed helpful, but also frustrating,&#8221; was a recurring statement from many of our CBO partners whenever they met our technical team.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we resolved to push the boundaries by developing a cutting-edge data collection system.

Unfortunately, this led to the gathered information lacking uniformity or consistency. We quickly became aware of another challenge, as these disparities presented formidable obstacles during the process of cleaning and visualising data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It took two years of evaluation before we took steps to enhance the data collection mechanism by refining the app. This involved developing standardised questions, measurement units, and response choices across all sites. We collaborated with researchers, government officials, and the community to inform adjustments to the revised form. The app is now considered more user-friendly while preserving its efficacy in data analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31352\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31352\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31352 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-536x357.jpg 536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-725x483.jpg 725w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-98x65.jpg 98w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-1300x867.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/DSC_5255-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1067;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Community members in Ende clean octopus during the fish landing. | Image: Megan Francis<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KoboCollect functionality is twofold. The Landing Monitoring Survey ensures a continuous flow of information on local fishing activities and fisheries production.

Together, these surveys work in harmony, offering valuable insights for a thorough understanding of the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our CBO partners have enthusiastically adopted KoboCollect for comprehensive data collection covering octopus, fish, mud crab, and shrimp.

This enhanced approach lays the foundations for elevated data practices in marine conservation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31358\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31358\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31358 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-scaled.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-476x357.jpg 476w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-644x483.jpg 644w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-87x65.jpg 87w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-2048x1537.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-2000x1501.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-1300x975.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2024\/03\/IMG_20240301_110637-300x225.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/1200;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31358\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Visualising the gathered data from KoboCollect on the dashboard. | Image: Yoga Putra<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All collected data are filtered, validated, and displayed on a dashboard developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/barefootocean.org\/\">Barefoot Ocean<\/a>.
