WCPFC TSER

This is the High Seas Transhipment E-Reporting (TSER) app developed for the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The app allows authorised staff of: national fisheries management authorities, fishing companies and fishing vessels, to:
* Create and submit new WCPFC high seas transhipment notifications and declarations
* Modify previous notifications and declarations
* Cancel previous notifications and declarations.

The TSER app:
* Is easy to use. Most data are entered using drop-down menus. There is little typing.
* Makes it easy to modify or cancel an earlier notification / declaration.
* Should work from either an office or a vessel at sea. It has been designed to work on both fast and slow internet connections, including satellite connections.
* Transmits very small packages of data. Several hundred transhipment notifications / declarations can be transmitted in one megabyte of data. This means that it is cheap to transmit notifications / declarations, even via satellite.

- The app requires Android 6.0 or later, and an English language key pad.
- The app will run on both Android phones and tablets, but an tablet is recommended.
