Shiny App


Slick is a decision analysis tool that presents the outcomes of candidate harvest strategies across various states of nature, accounting for uncertainty. Slick is interactive and allows users to filter results live in order to explore robustness and performance.

While Slick can be applied to any decision analysis context it was specifically designed to investigate the performance of harvest strategies tested by management strategy evaluation (MSE). Slick can be used for any MSE process, but the current version includes a demonstration example, as well as preliminary results from the MSEs for Western Atlantic skipjack tuna and North Atlantic swordfish.

Thanks to our partners at @FAOfish for promoting our hot-off-the-press https://www.harveststrategies.org educational products! FAO news story here: http://www.fao.org/in-action/commonoceans/newsroom/detail-events/en/c/1679010/!

Testing… testing… is this thing on? Our new animation shows how the feedback loop of management procedure implementation improves fisheries oversight. Available in English, French and Spanish!

In a new guest blog, Dr. @Hilariomurua talks about why his organization, @ISSF, is advocating for adoption of harvest strategies for tunas, including how they can “help tuna fisheries weather the impacts of climate change.” https://harveststrategies.org/blog/2024/03/01/guest-blog-more-harvest-strategies-for-more-stocks-can-help-fisheries-managers-mitigate-political-pressure-and-climate-change-impacts-on-global-tuna-fisheries/
