Abstract

This information paper provides a very brief summary of Electronic Reporting (ER) and Electronic Monitoring (EM) projects currently being implemented in the WCPO oceanic fisheries. ER and EM data flow are presented. Some of the EM challenges are described. An example of comparative analysis is provided. An outlook on using LL EM data towards WCPFC ROP coverage and drafting EM Purse Seine process standards is provided.
