To collect the data needed to address socioeconomic and environmental sustainability challenges, the seafood sector must implement traceability systems accessible to fishers and other vulnerable near-shore actors. Breaking from the prevailing approach of centralized, analog catch recording facilitated by enumerators, a Philippine yellowfin tuna fishery has begun piloting new decentralized digital models using NFC cards, RFID tags, and app-based smartphone catch data capture. This event will discuss barriers to uptake, ongoing electronic traceability piloting efforts and additional systemic and policy considerations necessary to advance sustainability outcomes along with their documentation through traceability systems originating from small-scale fishers.
