Using this app, fishery monitoring and management can be carried out via a platform that links fishers on a vast network.

It's a free Spanish-language collaborative tool designed by and for fishers.
One of the main features of the program is a digital tool, the PescaData app. Cabi has developed the “Blue Innovation for Fishing in Mexico” program, to help take stock of fishing resources. In this region, no fewer than 2500 species of animals have been identified: invertebrates, fish (particularly sharks and rays), turtles, birds, and marine mammals. Mexican NGO Comunidad y Biodiversidad (Cobi) promotes marine conservation and sustainable fishing management, especially in northwest Mexico, and works in partnership with local communities. That’s why the country has created natural protected areas including the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park in the Gulf of California, which oceanographer Jacques Cousteau nicknamed the “aquarium of the world.” Indeed, pollution and overexploitation of natural resources are disrupting Mexico’s ecosystems. But because the country’s economic growth is strong and its population big (130 million people), conservation of its environment is crucial for the future.
Mexico is home to nearly 12% of the Earth’s species, its rich biodiversity making it one of the 17 “megadiverse” countries worldwide. See also: Our collection of “Shared Innovation” articles
