SafetyNet

SatefyNet, created by SafetyNet Technologies' Dan Watson and his team, aims to use technology and design to create a more optimal selection of fish stocks in fisheries, and to make the fishery industry more sustainable. The European Union, for instance, has a strict agreement on the need to reduce the amount of unnecessary fish caught during net fishing. Turning such unnecessary catches into marketable fish species has long been a challenge for fishermen.

For many years, SafetyNet has tackled the unseen problems behind the solution. The product’s design allows sorting of fish by age and variety through LED lighted holes attached to the nets. This mechanism helps prevent unnecessary overfishing, while enabling easier targeting and capture of certain fish species.
