Project description
Unique software for fisheries management
Overfishing represents a significant problem for fisheries and the environment. The implementation of fishery regulations and enforcement measures is quite limited due to the lack of timely and accurate fisheries data and the high costs of fishery governance regimes. Currently, there are no solutions taking into account all aspects and processes involved in fisheries to protect commercial stocks from overexploitation. The EU-funded TFM project presents The Fisheries Manager (TFM), a fully-integrative modular cloud-based software covering all aspects of fisheries management, from vessel registry and catcheries to compliance with policies. The innovation comprises more than 40 independent modules that work in synergy, a user-friendly interface and real-time communication and is adapted to all kinds of customers.
Objective
Overfishing represents a major problem for fisheries worldwide, and a global environmental threat, as it risks the problem
that is threating our oceans, with only 32% of fish stocks sustainably exploited. Even though fishery regulations and
enforcement measures have been deployed throughout the world by nations, their implementation is quite limited, mainly
due to the difficulties derived from the lack of timely and accurate fisheries data (given the variety of players in the industry,
from fishermen to distributors and governments), and the high costs of fishery governance regimes, which are also mostly
obsolete.
Fisheries management systems that take into account all aspects and processes involved in fisheries are required to
preserve commercial stocks from overexploitation and promote sustainable fisheries. However, to date, there is no such
solution in the market.
To meet this need, at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES we have developed The Fisheries Manager (TFM): a fully-integrative
modular cloud-based software which comprises over 40 independent modules that work in synergy and cover all aspects of
integrative fisheries management, from vessels registry and catcheries to compliance of policies. This modularity, together
with a friendly-used interface and real-time communication, enables its adaption to all kind of customers, from single
artisanal fishermen to state nations and worldwide organizations such as, FAO and ICCAT.
Our experts at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES have over 80 years of experience in implementing fisheries management
solutions, having worked with the Icelandic government for the last two decades developing one of the most advanced
management system of fisheries. With TFM we will expand our background to governmental and industry levels firstly in
Europe and then worldwide, to maximize the efficiency, performance and sustainability of fisheries of all sizes throughout the
world and boost the growth of our company in terms of revenues and personnel.
