The project puts small-scale fisheries data in the hands of fisheries officers, researchers, and local stakeholders by creating an automated data pipeline to highlight temporal and spatial changes in fish production.

Peskas is a software designed to turn fisheries data into insights for decision-makers and stakeholders. Small-scale fisheries data can include information about the fishers and indicators of their livelihoods and income, the number and type of vessels involved, where these vessels and/or fishers go, the fishing gears they use to catch fish and invertebrates, and the composition of their catches such as the species, number of individuals, and their market value. Peskas manages these data from their collection at landing sites to visualisation and publication of fisheries trends, statistics and insights on a decision dashboard and automated reports. It utilises an automated digital infrastructure to process and visualise fisheries data, helping researchers and stakeholders gain knowledge and insights that can inform data-driven decisions for sustainable fishery management and be used in various publications such as articles, reports, and notes. The system is designed for a wide range of users, including fisheries managers, policymakers, researchers, and technical staff.
