Don't Reinvent the Wheel
Use Buoy.Fish to find lost fishing gear and prevent it from becoming ghost gear.
"Ghost gear is a huge problem. Jameson and Tal appear to have an innovative approach to solving it"
— Matt Juanes, Fishing Vessel Plumeria, San Francisco, CA
Why?
Fishing gear has only evolved to be more effective at capturing fish. As fisheries management adopts more sustainable practices, the gear itself needs to be more sustainable. Buoy.Fish is a platform for tracking fishing gear and preventing it from becoming ghost gear.
How?
Using a novel Low Power, Long Range, community hosted wireless network, combined with state of the art GPS trackers, Buoy.Fish is among the first to explore lower cost alternatives to remotely deployable gears ('lineless pots') and other more costly alternatives.
What?
Buoy.Fish offers direct customer sales of GPS asset trackers for their fishing equipment. We're also in discussions with non-profit organizations to provide trackers to fishermen, in an effort to reduce abandoned fishing gear without financially impacting the fishing community.
Features
Ruggedized Trackers
At Buoy.Fish, we're fishermen ourselves, and we know how hard the ocean can be on equipment. We designed our trackers using hardened and marine grade materials to ensure they can withstand the elements.
Real Time
Know where your gear is while you're at home on land, or out on the water. Our fishing trackers send regular updates letting you know their battery level, real-time GPS location, temperature, and other important information.
More Fish
As California and other regulators take extraordinary measures to curb whale entanglements, Buoy.Fish is working with fishermen to develop new gear types that are more sustainable and could open up new fishing grounds.
