ACCSP Featured in Oracle’s Business Innovations with Oracle APEX Series

In a recent session titled “Using Oracle APEX/Low Code solutions to Collect Atlantic US saltwater fisheries data-Customer story,” the Atlantic Coastal Cooperative Statistics Program (ACCSP) showcased its extensive use of Oracle tools to revolutionize fisheries data management along the Atlantic coast. The session, lasting one hour, delved into ACCSP’s journey of employing Oracle databases and applications to standardize and centralize fisheries-dependent data collection, enabling more efficient natural resource management. Featured speakers included Geoff White, ACCSP, Julie DeFilippi Simpson, ACCSP, Karen Cannell, TH Technology, Jim Czuprynski, Zero Defect Computing, and Salim Hlayel, Oracle. A recording of the session can be found on YouTube (https://youtu.be/gf0vsCm4-qU?si=68gxMGQwZxhGGSB5).

A key aspect of ACCSP’s success lies in its adoption of Oracle technologies, particularly Oracle APEX (Application Express), Forms, and Oracle Spatial. These tools have facilitated the development of internal systems and the creation of the Standard Atlantic Fisheries Information System (SAFIS) suite of applications. These applications include electronic commercial dealer reporting and catch reporting for commercial, for-hire, and recreational harvesters.

During the session, ACCSP provided insights into its long-standing partnership with Oracle and demonstrated key features of its applications, emphasizing the role of APEX, Oracle Spatial, and Real Application Security (RAS). Attendees had the opportunity to interact with ACCSP staff through a Q&A session, gaining valuable insights into the practical application of Oracle tools in the realm of fisheries data management.

ACCSP’s commitment to providing these tools and applications at no cost to users underscores its dedication to supporting effective natural resource management. By streamlining data collection and management processes across jurisdictions, ACCSP has significantly contributed to the sustainability of Atlantic coast fisheries.

As ACCSP continues to evolve and innovate with Oracle, the organization remains at the forefront of fisheries data management, setting a benchmark for collaborative efforts in preserving marine ecosystems and supporting sustainable fishing practices along the Atlantic coast.
