Fisheries Performance Assessment Toolkit

Introduction

Welcome to the Fisheries Performance Assessment Toolkit (FPAT)

FPAT includes two tools: the Fisheries Performance Indicators: a tool designed to determine how fisheries management systems are performing in order to achieve community, economic, and ecological sustainability, and openMSE: an open-source framework for evaluating the performance of alternative modes of management for a fishery.

The FPAT process uses the two tools for several purposes:

  1. Characterize the current state of the fishery using the Fishery Performance Indicators;

  2. Compare the FPI scores to baselines from other fisheries and regions;

  3. Evaluate the expected performance of alternative management approaches with respect to fishery management objectives;

  4. Implement changes to management and other interventions and use the FPIs to quantitatively evaluate the fishery improvements.
