REM Early Adopters

As the UK fisheries authorities gear up towards the adoption of Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) within different fisheries. Anchor Lab is pleased to be assisting the English research and fisheries authorities in their initial roll-out of REM to early adopters.

A REM system has been deployed on the first vessel participating in this program. This system is designed to collect detailed data on fishing activities and catches, utilizing sensors and cameras that monitor various aspects of the vessel's operation. This will aid in sustainable fisheries management as mandated by the Fisheries Act 2020, which requires the UK to gather data to support environmentally conscious policy-making. For more details about the vessel and the deployment of the REM system, please visit the Marine Science blog.

Anchor Lab has also been involved with additional REM deployments with Cefas including to collect a greater amount of research data, Fish on Film.
