SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Council will host a presentation from Angler's Atlas, a digital platform that has been collecting fisheries data from anglers since 2018 through its mobile application MyCatch. The webinar will focus on three important elements of a successful citizen science strategy: techniques that motivate anglers to report their catches; methods to evaluate the quality of the data collected; and ways self-reported citizen science data may address research and management issues. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. Members of the public will have the opportunity to participate in the discussion. The presentation is for informational purposes only and no management actions will be taken.
