Four spreadsheets document the design and instrumentation of a multiscalar impact measurement system for fisheries improvement projects. The framework measures sustainability across four pillars at three nested scales, informed by survey responses from 16 Marine Stewardship Council Pathway Projects in March 2026. Author Louise Gammage published this first prototype on figshare in May 2026.
Use Cases
- Score fishery sustainability performance based on the defined KPI architecture with scoring guidance.
- Conduct gap analysis for impact measurement systems based on the documented empirical gap analysis.
- Design data collection instruments for sustainability projects based on the cross-referenced KPI definitions and data sources.
- Aggregate impact scores across environmental, economic, social, and governance pillars based on the described aggregation protocols.
Strengths
- Framework is informed by survey responses from all 16 Pathway Projects globally.
- Measures impact across four distinct sustainability pillars.
- Operates at three nested scales: fishery, project, and programme.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- This is a first prototype; a second version with supplementary materials exists.
