Rare Ocean Species Collector
Project Context
Collecting information (location, species, etc.) related to the
capture of rare* fishes and invertebrates in the ocean is done by
several institutes (IFREMER, AZTI, Museum of Natural History, La
Rochelle University, etc.) mainly thanks to the help of fishermen
Problems
No common methodology
No data sharing
No information indexing/retrieval
No data analysis (since input data are only few)
* Never/occasionally captured previously
Project Aim
Setup an easy-to-use solution able to
Standardize information representation
Reduce fishermen efforts
Increase and speed up data input
Provide collective knowledge and data analysis
