Improve your fishery with data management
Data is powerful, and in today’s world, a fishery cannot operate efficiently without accurate fisheries data. You need to have the ability to get your hands on convincing fisheries data so you can support your claims and take part in meaningful fisheries management discussions.
Assessing stock levels in a wild-caught fishery remains challenging, whereas recording and compiling harvest levels is highly achievable given the right tools, which is why we developed FisheriesApp. FisheriesApp is the world’s quickest, easiest, and most efficient way to access harvest data. We know first-hand how difficult it can be to convince everybody to engage in something new, and we want to help you make it easier with data.
FisheriesApp is a fisheries management platform that is easily configurable and designed to be user-friendly. Because of the ease of deployment, we can quickly help you get a pilot catch reporting program up and going. Trends derived from accurate harvest data on target species and by-catch dramatically helps decision making on stock assessments and future seasons’ allowances, and with FisheriesApp you can represent your fishery’s interests with data.
Whether you want to formally declare a Fishery Improvement Program (FIP), or want to help modernize your fishery with management tools, FisheriesApp is designed and customized to be exactly what you need.
How it works
Recording and reporting your catch has never been easier. With FisheriesApp as your electronic reporting platform, you get to spend less time reporting and more time fishing.
How? FisheriesApp is simple to use – report your catch once, and it ensures your data gets to the right people. Your time is valuable, and instead of filling in forms on paper – or no documentation at all – we’ve created a way for you to efficiently record your catch and get back to what you really want to be doing—fishing.
Depending on the fishery, reporting can be as simple as a single catch form or could require additional data for fisheries management or regulators. Whether your fishery requires harvester self-reporting, landing or offload reporting, third party monitored reporting, and/or biological or scientific reporting, FisheriesApp accounts can be configured for your specific needs.
We work with many different fisheries, often together with supportive NGOs, to help you start your electronic reporting plans. The first step is often a pilot engagement with some forward-minded fishermen. The pilot can quickly and easily move towards a more comprehensive fisheries management plan when the whole fishery is ready.
The FisheriesApp platform allows your data to be enhanced with GPS and is compatible with several other similar systems. FisheriesApp is a tool designed for you and can be utilized in multiple ways. Our platform can synthesize your data, summarize the different aspects of its findings, and help keep your fishery fully empowered.
FisheriesApp customers vary widely, from river fisheries to lake fisheries and full-scale ocean-going fleets. We support trap fisheries, gill-nets, trawl, and line fisheries. Some are single species, others multi-species. Many need to track by-catch levels and differing gear types. FisheriesApp can work with all kinds of fisheries, and we’d like to help you too.
