Access the Anchoveta Web Application online here.

The Anchoveta Web Application was developed to provide an easily accessible view of economic data and model outputs comparing four different potential management strategies:

  • Status Quo
  • Open Market (OM) Quota
  • Closed Market (CM) Quota
  • Transferable Quotas

The web app was designed for a user to control a wide range of variables affecting Peruvian anchovy fisheries such as quota levels, operational costs, and discard (waste) rates. Changes to these variables would then influence the outcomes of the fisheries under the four presented management strategies, allowing a user (purposed for use by the Peruvian government) to view economic effects of possible policy options to reduce likelihood of fisheries collapse.
