This study offers a practical methodology that can be used in other artisanal, data-sparse fishing areas to document the geography of fishing, increase the participation of fishers in management, and lead to better participatory, ecosystem-based management.
Although this is the best available data for artisanal fishing, it is modeled and based on many crude assumptions.
The exhibition is designed to oscillate between, as Fischer says, "things made straight from the real objects: a horse, a bed, wallpaper, scanned or processed, not handmade," and artworks that "start with digital data, then go artisanal".
Data on Hg exposures among African artisanal miners are very limited.
The data gathered covered five encampments of artisanal miners, with nearly 250 men and women participating.

Recent case studies have highlighted high bycatch mortality of sea turtles and marine mammals in artisanal fisheries, but in most countries there are few data on artisanal fishing effort, catch, or bycatch.
The data obtained in this study showed that, the artisanal gold mining activities in the study area may contribute to long term environmental and human health risk.

Indonesia has the world's largest elasmobranch catch [118,000 t in 2003, 1], but data on catch and effort in the commercial and artisanal fisheries is severely lacking.
These findings fill a fundamentally important gap in our knowledge of the ecosystem effects of artisanal fisheries in developing nations, and provide support for multiple approaches to data collection where they are commonly unavailable.
