For the fisher
What’s in it for me?
Electronic Monitoring names the fish before the buyer speaks. Fair weight, colour grade and proof of landing sit on the same record the officer sees.
What fish is this?
EM reads the photo: species first, not a guess at the stall.
What is it worth today?
Colour and grade sit next to the kilograms. Fresh silver is not the same as dull brown.
Will I be short-weighed?
The estimate is written to the Hub before the buyer speaks. Officer and fisher see the same number.
Does anyone know I landed?
Fisher ID, site and time. Proof you can show. Names stay with VFD.
Where is the tabu?
On the Sea map. The same line the committee and the officer see.
A dashboard alone will not solve the fisheries challenge. The Ministry needs a trusted data flow: field, Hub, analytics, action.
