Use Cases

• Analyze trends in protected species interactions based on quarterly and yearly time-series data.
• Assess the effectiveness of fishing methods or regional management strategies based on reported interaction rates.
• Model species mortality risk based on the 'released condition' field and total interaction counts.
• Monitor compliance and reporting patterns following the implementation of the mandatory NX IOM program.

Strengths

• Time-series data spanning from 2006 to the present, providing a long-term view.
• Includes specific fields for year, quarter, region, fishing method, species, and released condition.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Data is self-reported by fishers and has not been validated, with some records under further investigation.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
