The health of our oceans and the communities and economies that depend on them hinges on our ability to sustainably manage industrial fisheries. Yet for decades, fisheries managers have lacked timely, reliable, actionable data to keep pace with the complexity of modern fishing operations. This initiative marks a transformative leap forward, demonstrating how artificial intelligence (AI) can be harnessed not just to streamline data collection on catch activity, but to fundamentally reshape how we manage industrial fishing. By deploying an AI-powered system capable of analyzing electronic monitoring (EM) footage directly onboard longline vessels, this initiative brings near real-time visibility to one of the most opaque links in the seafood supply chain.
