The Pacific whiting fishery on the US West Coast uses electronic monitoring to verify catch retention, improve data accuracy, reduce discards, and manage quotas, providing a cost-effective alternative to onboard observers that supports sustainable fisheries management.
Archipelago collaborated with industry partners on a pilot electronic monitoring project in the Bay of Biscay to assess bycatch data collection on small vessels, supporting protected species monitoring while maintaining fishing practices, data integrity, and fisher privacy.
Archipelago delivers a full range of EM services to several national fisheries in Australia. These include the Eastern and Western tuna and billfish fisheries (pelagic longline) as well as the groundfish hook and trap fisheries (gillnet and auto-longline.
The program delivers comprehensive at-sea observer services for Pacific fisheries, supporting data collection, biological sampling, and compliance monitoring through trained and certified observers, reliable reporting, and consistent oversight across domestic and joint venture operations.
The program supports accurate, timely commercial salmon catch reporting through standardized logbooks and centralized data collection, enabling effective in-season fisheries management and informed decision-making across British Columbia’s commercial salmon fisheries.
Archipelago delivers at-sea research survey services by providing trained observer staff and tailored data processing and reporting, supporting fisheries science, stock assessment, and informed management through reliable, high-quality field data.
The US West Coast Groundfish electronic monitoring program uses an exempted permit to support multiple fleets with cost-effective at-sea catch monitoring, enabling regulatory compliance and efficient data processing in coordination with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission.
The Alaska Fixed Gear electronic monitoring program supports cooperative research and regulated fisheries management by enabling hook-and-line and trap vessels to use EM for catch, discard, and compliance monitoring, with equipment and field support provided by Archipelago.
South Georgia’s longline fisheries monitoring program uses mandatory electronic monitoring to deliver consistent data on compliance, fishing effort, and catch composition, supporting effective fisheries oversight through licence requirements established by the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
