dc.description.abstract | While the observation of the open ocean is well achieved by automated ocean
measurement instruments, coastal and shelf seas suffer the lack of sub-surface
collection platforms. Commercial fishing gear such as bottom trawls, pots, traps and
long lines can act as platforms for sensors, which collect physical oceanographic
data concurrently with normal fishing operations. The lack of observed in situ ocean
data in coastal and shelf seas limits operational oceanography, weather forecasting,
maritime industries, and climate change monitoring. In addition, using fishing gear
as an ocean observation platform has auxiliary benefits for fisheries management
including stakeholder involvement. This study quantifies and compares the existing
sub-surface in situ data coverage with the spatial distribution of fishing activities. The
results show that integration with fishing could contribute to filling some of the most
pressing gaps in existing ocean observation systems in coastal and shelf seas. There
are limitations related to opportunistic data collection, mainly related to spatial and
temporal heterogeneity of fishing activities. However, we make the case that fisherybased
observations have the potential to complement existing ocean observing systems
in areas where oceanographic data are lacking and needed most in order to ensure long
term sustainability of ocean monitoring. | en_US |
