Several participants also highlighted the problem of short-termism: POs are tied into yearly plans and reporting rather than developing longer term strategies. It was also commented that often fishers are focussed on planning days or weeks ahead, and it\u2019s difficult for them to plan longer into the future due to so many uncertainties.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst most interventions highlighted the positive role and performance of POs, Jareck Jaroslaw, the BSAC Chair, drew attention to the failing state of POs in the Baltic alongside the failure of many stocks. He cited the closure of cod and salmon fisheries, reduction in pelagic quota and reliance on flat fish. POs he said, face the end of their existence. In the case of the Baltic, funding for the POs should not be based on volume or value of fish landings but on the survival of the fisheries. He felt that particular attention should be given to small-scale fishers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This echoes LIFE\u2019s call for POs to be set up dedicated to the interests of SSF- as part of a differentiated approach; such interests are often overlooked in mixed organisations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Advancing Digital Innovation in Small-Scale Fisheries: Fish-X 3rd Business Architecture Workshop<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31\/1 The 3rd Business Architecture Workshop of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fish-x.eu\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fish-X Project<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brought together fishers, practitioners, maritime authorities, and researchers to explore the role of digital tools in transforming small-scale fisheries.
