How do I identify Geographic Scope?
When creating an SSF profile you must choose a geographic scope from the following:
Local, Subnational, National, Regional, Global, or Not Specific. Please be reminded that fisheries
occurring within a particular portion of a Nation should be classified as Subnational and not
National.
Do I create a profile for each targeted species?
No. When describing a SSF that targets multiple fish species consider it a multispecies
fishery and list all species caught under the “Species” category.
How do I upload an image?
To add an image to your Who’s Who or SSF Profile you must first upload it onto the Too Big To Ignore gallery (http://toobigtoignore.net/gallery/). Once your image has been uploaded to the gallery (or another image hosting website), simply copy the image URL by right-clicking on the image and selecting ‘copy image’ and then paste the image URL into the space provided within the ‘background’ accordion.
How do I name my SSF Profile?
When creating a SSF Profile, it is important that you include the country in which the fishery is occurring and that you follow this template: name/type of fishery, country. Some examples of already exiting profiles include: “Northeastern Handline & Gillnet Fisheries, Brazil” and “Conception Bay Snow Crab Fishery, Canada”.
