Estimating Lost Fishing Gear
visualizing fisheries data and synthesis model inputs
This project involved two parts. First, we had to explore, organize, and analyze data on fisheries landings and discard estimates by country and gear type. As a result of this part of the project, I created several visualizations.
The second part of the project was to develop a model to estimate how much fishing gear goes into the ocean based on the number of fish captured. To present part of the results of this model, I developed an interactive web application using R Shiny. The goal was to show the data going into the model to calculate derelict fishing gear based on the relationship between catch and effort.
