Catch App provides fishermen with an online diary to digitally record fishing activity and give users the ability to share their data with others. It will be free to download.<\/p>\n
Tom Rossiter, head of marine at SuccorfishM2M, said: \u201cFishermen are the key to changing, implementing and improving data collection methods for the benefit of the whole industry as well as the wider marine and business community.<\/p>\n
\u201cCatch App has been designed specifically for fishermen and our first-hand experience of the industry has allowed us to provide a modern solution that will eliminate many of the problems and concerns voiced by the parties involved,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The app has been designed by SuccorfishM2M and developed with the Blue Marine Foundation, it integrates with the SuccorfishM2M SC2-iVMS system to provide a highly detailed picture of vessel location and activities.<\/p>\n
It will allow fishermen to compare gear, bait, and season performances as well as calculate catch per unit effort. This aims to help improve fisheries evidence and promote sustainability.<\/p>\n
Mr Rossiter added: \u201cCatch App is a major step forward for the fishing industry and its implementation could become the solution for effective data collection by fishermen and marine authorities in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
