Electronic monitoring (EM) programs can benefit all levels of the supply chain, if designed properly. Traceability and data-sharing are key design components for buyer assurance and effective verification of fishery performance and compliance. One challenge for many current EM initiatives is how to move beyond the pilot phase. In this panel, we will hear from stakeholders across the supply chain about their experiences with piloting EM, what they need out of EM programs, and their ideas for scaling its use.
