Description

As the agency reported it.

To ensure collaboration and knowledge exchange, three workshops will be organized with fishers. The first workshop will serve as the project's launch and involve discussions with captains regarding the organic materials and the new prototype of BIO-fads to be tested. Then, approximately 200 BIO-fads will be constructed and deployed for evaluation over a period of 10 months at sea. Monitoring of the BIO-fads will be carried out through captains who will fill out forms to monitor BIO-FAD performance as well satellite technology (utilizing the information from GEO-locating buoys attached to the BIO-fads). The performance evaluation of BIO-fads will focus on BIO-fads ability to attract tuna and the durability of the organic materials used. A second workshop will take place midway through the project to evaluate progress. Finally, a concluding workshop will be held at the project's end to share the results and engage in discussions about future directions.
