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 Programme’s 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.

This Guide provides a short description of each of the activities within the overall Information Management System, and uses of the system for adaptive management within the TCZCDP. 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.
