Ocean

From 2013 to 2017, CEA served as a partner to the Rockefeller Foundation’s Revalue Ecosystems program. CEA helped the Rockefeller team explore and execute new initiatives under this program. In partnership with Rockefeller and grantees, CEA produced several public-facing reports during this time.

This report explores the necessary elements of a well-designed EM program and explores unique considerations for fisheries that are managed by an RFMO.

CEA authored and edited this comprehensive guide to ocean conservation. It provides a synthesis of recent trends and emerging research on the marine environment in a plain-language compilation as an information resource for ocean conservation funders and practitioners. This report has evolved into a website, curated by CEA, which publishes up to date research, information, and synthesis on the state of ocean conservation.

This report is a progress update on CEA and TNC’s original (2018) assessment of electronic monitoring in fisheries. This report revisits the original recommendations, tracks the progress and new innovations that have been made, identifies key remaining barriers, and updates the investment blueprint based on what has changed or been learned over the last year and a half.

This report presents an overview of the current state of electronic monitoring (EM) in fisheries, the benefits of the technology, and the main barriers to broader adoption, as well as a set of recommendations to help catalyze the growth of EM in fisheries. CEA conducted the analysis presented in this report on behalf of and in partnership with The Nature Conservancy in 2018.
