Low Cost S/W Sol’ns: MPA Guardian
• Interactive map for information
• Smartphone GPS reports time and location
• Reporting of violation details, pictures or video

Low Cost S/W Sol’ns: FishNET Open framework, Web-based crowd-sourced data repository of violation info: vessel IDs and media (geotagged pics, video, etc)
“A participatory type approach, where fisher folk can be empowered to share management responsibility and authority required to address IUU and other fisheries management issues, is necessary.
This would ensure collaborative co- management where fisher folk can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.”
