WGRDBESGOV consists of
members from the EU Regional Coordination Groups (RCGs) that upload data to the RDB/RDBES, and from ICES member countries. The group explores data governance questions including data
policy, gives guidance on technical developments, and monitors the use of the
RDB/RDBES.
The RDB/RDBES stores detailed
commercial fisheries sampling data and aggregated effort and landings
data. The aims of the RDBES are:
- to
ensure that data can be made available for the coordination of regional fisheries
data sampling plans, including for the RCGs,
- to provide a regional
estimation system such that statistical estimates of quantities of interest can
be produced from sample data,
- to serve and facilitate the production of
fisheries management advice and status reports, and
- to increase the
awareness of fisheries data collected by the users of the RDBES and the overall
usage of these data
This group used to be called the Steering Committee of the Regional Fisheries Database (SCRDB).
