“Fishermen have been informally observing and documenting climate-related fisheries impacts for decades, and as anyone who spends time on the water can attest, the changes are more dramatic, with greater impact on the environment and livelihoods than ever before. The Skipper Science project recognizes this and is working to connect this lived experience with cutting-edge technology. Our hope is that the program can serve as a vital new source of data to help drive better decisions when it comes to fisheries management and habitat protection.”
