I-Fish is an online fisheries database, storing data collected from port sampling activities of small-scale fisheries across Indonesia. I-Fish provides fishery-specific data, such as fishery activity by fishing ground and gear. The objective of the I-Fish port sampling approach is to create a platform which allows the private sector and/or Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to submit data on a fishery, for improved management. It is the aim that Data Management Committees (DMCs) are established in each province where data-collection occurs, which act as multi-stakeholder forums for discussions on the use of data to support management measures in the province/management area. Currently, I-Fish exists in two formats: the government version and the community version.
The discussions are divided into several sessions. The first topic is the explanation about Participatory Data Architecture concept for use in I-Fish by Mohamad Lutfi. The second topic is the I-Fish website and VIC system updates by Mika Winata. The third topic is explanation about I-Fish implementation update in the field by Wildan.
