Yet the health and status of most fish stocks remain unknown due to the high cost and complex nature of stock assessments. Stock assessment information is vital as it informs important decisions on how fisheries are managed, impacting species’ ability to recover, fishermen’s ability to make a living, and the availability of fish which billions of people around the world rely on as a primary source of protein. The Framework for Integrated Stock and Habitat Evaluation (FISHE) equips fishery managers with a low-cost and highly effective online resource to assess and sustainably manage their data-limited fishery. FISHE simplifies the intricate fishery assessment process by walking users through a structured step-by-step framework that combines multiple methods.

In this webinar, Rod Fujita and Kendra Karr of the Environmental Defense Fund will walk users through the FISHE framework and describe how it has worked in Belize to implement this data-limited approach.
