Innovation, based on smartphone technology, has drastically changed the way we can empower fishing communities and record information. Smartphone Apps, online Web-Apps and websites allow an unlimited number of users to access and participate in scientific studies, analyze data, contribute and receive information. This allows science to operate at scales and speeds previously impossible.

In this solution, different technological tools are presented, used for conservation and sustainable fishing purposes, promoting digital inclusion and modernizing the fishing sector. To this end, a mobile application (PescaData) was created to record fishing data, exchange services and products, and connect fishing communities. In addition, the first Spanish-language online course on fisheries management was offered and a platform was created to evaluate marine reserves.
