ROSA Data Governance Guidance

ROSA’s mission is to advance regional scientific research and monitoring for fisheries and offshore development to enable informed decision-making about sustainable fisheries and the blue economy. ROSA’s Data Governance Program supports that mission by building data stewardship capacity and collaboratively developing processes, policies, standards, and workflows that maximize data value and impact. This document is designed to provide guidance around data management for the fisheries research and monitoring community as they scope, plan, and execute research and publish, manage, and share data.
