How is Ecotrust handling confidentiality issues?
In terms of data collection, we plan to more thoroughly train our field staff in handling confidential information and making use of data-securing technologies, such as password protected files that limit access to Ecotrust staff person only. The data remains the property of the fisherman who provided it. In the South Coast process, as was the case in the North Central Coast process, final products will be reviewed and verified by the fishing community before released to the public.
