Improving Global and Regional Ocean Observing Through Best Practices and Standards.
Pearlman, Jay; Simpson, Pauline; Karstensen, Johannes; Buttigieg, Pier Luigi; Pearlman, Francoise; Waldmann, Christoph; Hoerstmann, Cora
As many of us know, the oceans play a key role in global issues such as climate change, food security, and human health. However, there are challenges to a real understanding of the oceans including their vast dimensions and internal complexity, efficient monitoring and predicting of the planet’s oceans evolutionary dynamics. Thus, the effort of ocean observing and analyses must be a collaborative effort of both regional and global scale. The first and foremost requirement for such collaborative ocean observing is the need to follow well-defined and reproducible methods across activities: from strategies for structuring observing systems, sensor deployment and usage, and the generation of data and information products, to ethical and governance aspects when executing ocean observing. Thus, “ocean observing” are all activities of the value chain from preparing and conducting observations to impacts on society through applications of information. To meet the urgent planet-wide challenges we face, common methods across all aspects of ocean observing should be broadly adopted by the ocean community and, where appropriate, should evolve into. Best Practices and Standards. Thus , these Best Practices and Standards not only make the life of individual scientists easier but also contribute to a better usage of the collected information by other groups and organizations across the value chain.

Simpson, Pauline; Muller-Karger, Frank; Van Ruth, Paul; Pearlman, Jay
The goal of the sixth Ocean Best Practices System workshop (OBPS VI) was to guide
the development of best practices and operating practices, to promote their documentation, and to share them widely using the OBPS. The workshop featured two plenaries held in two time zones each and 19 theme sessions held over two weeks.
These theme sessions were planned and held by separate communities of practice in ocean science, engineering, and technology. The workshop attracted the attention of a total of 1152 registrants from around the world, with some 600 people attending across time zones in the theme sessions and the plenaries.
The workshop allowed the different communities of practice to focus on the creation, documentation and use of best practices working with members of the OBPS Steering Group. It drew on the experience of OBPS User Groups and stakeholders and provided an opportunity to gather feedback on how the system should evolve to better fulfil each community’s vision, mission, and needs.
A common theme was that the broad ocean observing community appreciates the opportunities provided by the OBPS to focus on best practices. The community requested that this service be continued through additional workshops, opportunities to publish and share documents through the OBPS, and allow for cross-fertilization between different sectors of the community.

Edvard Pedersen | The Brønnøysund Register Centre : OPS Seafood
As a first example, a bimodal concept for Public-Private Sector Development and digital transformation was explained. It is based on a generic cooperation model applied to the Norwegian seafood sector. The public sector contributes with public data, data gathering and transfer, and common standards. The sector takes the responsibility for sector-specific standards, data ownership management and common sector solutions. A code of conduct was developed and the data sharing was standardised. The model itself can be regarded as a best practice, as well as the products resulting from it. -----
Giovanna Marino | ISPRA : The PerformFish benchmarking system
The system was developed for the Mediterranean area, based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified by the industry and that can be collected at the farms. These cover technical, environmental, welfare and economic indicator categories. It resulted in a benchmarking system that was adopted by aquaculture stakeholders and associations and in a unique data set across different Mediterranean zones on the performance of aquaculture farms. The system enables a visualisation of a set of KPIs and the optimisation of different aspects across the production cycle. With this information the sector has a tool that can document the sustainability of aquaculture, e.g. related to welfare issues or the carbon footprint of aquaculture. -----
Houssam Hamza & Linda Fourdain | GFCM of FAO : Best practices at
the Global Mediterranean Council
The FAO GFCM is the general Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It produces recommendations and resolutions for aquaculture in the region and provides assistance, demonstration centres, training courses driving good practices across the GFCM member countries and coastal communities. A methodology and guidance for knowledge and good practice sharing has been developed for aquaculture in marine spatial planning, such as the guide for Allocated Zones for Aquaculture (AZA). -----
Saioa Ramos | AZTI : AQUAPEF: an aquaculture Product
Environmental Footprint pilot
The EU funded project Life AQUAPEF developed a specific, easy-to-use tool to calculate the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) across the aquaculture value chain, from feed, hatchery and grow out to processing, packaging and distribution. The pilot tool has been demonstrated at different sites in the Mediterranean and is ready to be used by all sea bream and seabass farms in the region. The goal is to have the tool commercialised and to transfer the methodology to other aquaculture systems and species, such as salmon, trout and sole.

ISO/TC 234 Fisheries and aquaculture: what is it about? [Presentation at the EATiP/OBPS Best Practices in Aquaculture Workshop, 05 April 2022 (Online)].
Gregussen, Otto
The key message conveyed to the audience was that standards are the next major step in the process of developing sustainable aquaculture. They are a way of putting best practices into use and are useful for industry stakeholders who need to document how best practices are being adopted into the aquaculture value chain. The ISO system is an efficient tool to implement transparency and a level playing field across the sector. The attendants were invited to look into how they can engage in the development of the ISO/TC 234 standard for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

Best practice in fish farming is a working method that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are better. Best practices are necessary to improve productivity, to assure competitiveness and apply to all the elements of the fish farming activity, from production to the market. An important element of Best practices is that they are shareable, and associations play a crucial role in spreading them. From this perspective bad practice in a farm not only creates negative externalities but also affects the reputation of the whole sector.

About Best Practices and the IOC Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS). [Presentation at EATiP/OBPS Best Practices in Aquaculture Workshop, 05 April 2022 (Online)].
Karstensen, Johannes
The IOC Ocean Best Practices System (OBPS) was introduced in this presentation. The OBPS definition for “Best Practice” was introduced (see Pearlman et al. 2019) and the general challenges that come with creation and dissemination of practices different types best practices media (documents, videos, other material) was discussed. The operational components of OBPS and their activities were presented, in particular the OBPS repository server and the search interface (search.oceanbestpractices.org). Examples for search of combinations of “Aquaculture”, “Mariculture”, “Standards” were discussed. Comments were provided in the ZOOM chat. The idea behind “convergence” of practices into Best Practices, and the idea behind “endorsement” of practices to highlight importance for certain groups and organizations was presented. The OBPS UN Decade programme (“OceanPractices”) was briefly introduced.
