Description:

One of the most difficult aspects of recreational fisheries management is the ability to collect and have immediate access to fisheries-dependent data. The advent of smart devices has created a novel way to collect self-reported data. Working with 16 for-hire vessel captains from across the Gulf of Mexico, we developed an electronic logbook application, iSnapper, to test the quality and quantity of data that an app could provide for researchers and fisheries managers.
