2021
Tilley, A. | Cagua, F.
Small-scale fish production supports nutritious diets of over 3 billion people worldwide, yet very poor tools exist to track fish production from small-scale and artisanal contexts. The invisible contributions from this sector also leads to small-scale fisheries workers having very limited say in decision making about the blue economy. Small-scale fishers need evidence of their activities and contributions to empower their voices in the clamour of coastal development and resource exploitation. Over the past 2 years, WorldFish have designed, built and field-tested a data system for small-scale fisheries in Timor-Leste. To scale this system to different geographies and contexts, further research and innovation is needed. This project leveraged WorldFish digital and analytical expertise to conduct a rapid assessment of the extent and production of small-scale fisheries in Penang, Malaysia. This brief gives summary findings from preliminary data collection and analytics of small-scale fisheries digital fisheries monitoring in Penang, Malaysia.
