CEFAS25-26 Remote electronic monitoring data analysis

Description

Remote electronic monitoring (REM), which uses cameras and sensors on a vessel to collect data on fishing activities, is an effective tool for scientific data collection and monitoring. Cefas use REM to support several research and development projects that collect information on catch, discards, and sensitive species bycatch. As the use of REM in monitoring UK fisheries increases, Cefas are looking to the market to understand what technologies and methods are available for generating quality assured data on fishing activity and sensitive species bycatch. We are interested to know more about outsourcing analysis of data, where systems are already installed on vessels, as well as what other, more comprehensive options might be available, which could include taking responsibility for system installation, maintenance, analysis and data provision.
