Abstract

Abstract-first preview

The Catch Assessment and Tracking for Coastal Harvest Activities (CATCHA) is a web-based system that enables better fish catch tracking and recording in coastal communities. CATCHA provides centralised fisherfolk registration together with species-based and gear-type-based catch monitoring, which solves the data loss and delayed reporting problems that occur with traditional manual logs. The system creates automated reports, which the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) use to achieve better data accuracy through the elimination of duplicate data. CATCHA supports local communities in modernising their coastal harvesting methods by improving documentation and reporting processes, which leads to better decision-making and sustainable fishery management.
