This guidance contains information on key indicators, data collection tools and techniques, tips and a suite of case-studies from Ipieca members. It is designed to support practitioners in developing robust social baselines that:
- Suitably characterize impacts to fisheries and associated stakeholders
- Can be scaled to suit a variety of different offshore contexts and projects
- Will stand up to institutional scrutiny
- Reduce delays associated with the collection of incorrect data
- Support efforts to avoid and/or minimize impacts on fisheries and associated communities
