Hawai‘i and American Samoa Bycatch Guided User Interface
October 17, 2024
The Bycatch Guided User Interface is an online tool that captures and increases the ease of access to recent and historical Hawai‘i and American Samoa observed bycatch and bycatch estimates.
The Bycatch Guided User Interface is a publicly accessible tool that helps users generate and search tables of recent and historical bycatch data from the three Western Pacific longline fisheries, and allows users to export the data to a csv file (comma-separated values).
The Bycatch Guided User Interface eliminates the need to sift through reports or query complex and confidential databases by making this data available in a single interface. With a few clicks, users can analyze trends, identify areas of concern, and inform conservation efforts for a multitude of bycatch species. This newfound ease of access significantly improves our understanding of bycatch patterns and empowers people to make data-driven decisions for a more sustainable Western Pacific fishery.
