eCatch is a digital fisheries logbook application developed by The Nature Conservancy. It provides a simple way for fishermen to collect, map and selectively share their fishing information in a private and secure manner. One difficult aspect of fisheries management is the timely collection and dissemination to support improved management. Currently most fisheries either don't collect important data or rely on slow, outdated paper-based approaches. We developed eCatch to try and address this problem. Key Features * Collect the what, when, and where of a typical fishing logbook using a smartphone * Visualize your catch events on a map * Opt-in to sharing data with other eCatch users * See heatmaps of by-catch from other users who’ve agreed to sharing * Track your catch over time to understand larger patterns and forecasting
