Enumerators capture standardized trip data and link it with GPS tracks so every record is traceable.
A single pipeline that starts with fishers and ends with trusted information for managers, scientists, and communities. Built in Timor-Leste, now powering implementations in East Africa and Southeast Asia.
Enumerators capture standardized trip data and link it with GPS tracks so every record is traceable.
Cleaning, harmonization, and quality flags ensure each dataset is consistent across time, fleets, and locations.
Dashboards, briefs, and downloads translate the data into practical guidance for policy and daily operations.
Each stage is repeatable, documented, and aligned with partner agencies so results remain credible over time.
Enumerators collect trip, catch, and price information at landing sites using a standard survey form.
Solar GPS units log vessel positions to complement survey data with verified time at sea and fishing grounds.
All inputs are cleaned, harmonized, and matched to reference tables before analysis.
Automated rules and 21 quality flags check completeness, plausibility, and consistency.
Standard scripts calculate core metrics for fisheries management and nutrition.
Decision-ready outputs are shared with partners, with regular feedback into the field programme.
The core components that keep the pipeline reliable, transparent, and reusable.
Landing-site monitoring, onboard tracking, and fisher self-reporting combine to create a traceable effort-and-catch record.
Cleaning, harmonization, and versioned storage keep inputs analysis-ready across forms, fleets, and time.
Scripted pipelines generate fisheries indicators using linked trip, tracking, and catch data.
Real-time validation and audit trails ensure every record is trusted before publication.
Multilingual dashboards and briefs make data usable for managers, communities, and partners.
Scheduled releases with documentation so others can verify and reuse the data responsibly.
Straight answers on hardware, costs, data, and customization.
No. Peskas ingests any vessel location data. We have used solar trackers from Pelagic Data Systems, but any compatible GPS hardware can be integrated.
The software is free and open-source. WorldFish can support setup, form adaptation, training, and dashboards as a service.
Hardware and service vary by volume
Data belong to the fishers and agencies who collect them. Summaries are published to the Harvard Dataverse; individual-level or sensitive vessel tracks are not shared.
Yes. The system is modular and adaptable. Technical documentation and support are available; contact a.tilley@cgiar.org or fill out the request form.
Most deployments are co-designed and trained in person to avoid misinterpretation. Online modules are in progress.
We co-design deployments with partners, train local teams, and keep the pipeline open so evidence stays current.
