Webinar: "The Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries", 25th January 2018, 3pm CET
The Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (The Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) is designed to handle the information on stock monitoring that countries perform directly or through the Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs).

The need for services that collect and combine Environmental Observation (EO) data with aquaculture data has been identified by the EU and this has become part of the Blue Growth strategy. This necessitates fundamental services to monitor the spatial distribution of human activities, including aquaculture and fishing, to enable performance analysis based on environmental and socio-economic indicators. The webinar will highlight the VREs that support a computing-intensive, ontology-driven feature analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multispectral optical imagery (using Sentinel-1 and -2 data, and Very High Resolution optical techniques), where the results are displayed on maps for human reviewers. The first VRE specifically focusses on recognizing offshore fish farming in Greece, and the second on identifying coastal aquaculture ponds in Indonesia...
