The
FISHstory project uses historic dock photos from the 1940s-1980s to document catch and size composition from this time period. The insights from this project will better inform historic recreational data used in stock assessments and help us better understand fisheries of both the past and present.
Through
Zooniverse, volunteers from around the world are trained to identify and count the fish and people in historic fishing photos.
Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers, all of the photos from the FISHstory pilot project in Zooniverse have been classified. We’re busy collecting new photos and will re-launch the project within Zooniverse soon. Want to be notified when it opens? Complete this online form and we’ll send you an email when it goes live.
