I’m the Team Leader for Fisheries Ecosystems Advisory Services Data at the Marine Institute in Ireland.
I have a huge interest in making better use of fisheries data, and seeing what tools can be built to make it more widely available. I co-chaired the ICES Data and Visualisation Hackthon (WKINVITED) last year and that produced some really interesting outputs that are now being further developed. I think this format can be a great way of getting different people to work together, particularly in creating a forum where programmers and scientists can work together.
