The Tracker Program is a project comprised of several research groups and several communities driven by the Gulf of California Marine Program. The main objective is to work with communities to understand the health status of commercially important fishery resources and their relationship to the habitat that sustains them. Since 2009, fishermen from various communities have helped us collect data related to fishing activity. Through a spatial analysis, researchers identify individual fishing events in the whole trajectory recorded by a GPS device. These events are assigned a specific coordinate that is interpreted as a fishing ground. For each fisheries resource and community, there is a particular algorithm applied to identify such fishing events. Currently the fishing communities of San Felipe in Baja California, El Golfo de Santa Clara in Sonora, Punta Abreojos, Puerto Adolfo López Mateos, Puerto San Carlos and Puerto Chale in Baja California Sur have joined the Tracker Program. Between the period from 2009 to 2016.
