An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programmes inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities.

The Guide is divided into two parts. The first part of the Guide provides an overview of the different elements within the overall Information Management System.
