TFM · The First Integrative Fisheries Management System
Overfishing represents a major problem for fisheries worldwide, and a global environmental threat, as it risks the problemthat is threating our oceans, with only 32% of fish stocks sustainably exploited. Even though fishery regulations andenforcement measures have been deployed throughout the world by nations, their implementation is quite limited, mainlydue to the difficulties derived from the lack of timely and accurate fisheries data (given the variety of players in the industry,from fishermen to distributors and governments), and the high costs of fishery governance regimes, which are also mostlyobsolete.Fisheries management systems that take into account all aspects and processes involved in fisheries are required topreserve commercial stocks from overexploitation and promote sustainable fisheries. However, to date, there is no suchsolution in the market.To meet this need, at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES we have developed The Fisheries Manager (TFM): a fully-integrativemodular cloud-based software which comprises over 40 independent modules that work in synergy and cover all aspects ofintegrative fisheries management, from vessels registry and catcheries to compliance of policies. This modularity, togetherwith a friendly-used interface and real-time communication, enables its adaption to all kind of customers, from singleartisanal fishermen to state nations and worldwide organizations such as, FAO and ICCAT.Our experts at FISHERIES TECHNOLOGIES have over 80 years of experience in implementing fisheries managementsolutions, having worked with the Icelandic government for the last two decades developing one of the most advancedmanagement system of fisheries. With TFM we will expand our background to governmental and industry levels firstly inEurope and then worldwide, to maximize the efficiency, performance and sustainability of fisheries of all sizes throughout theworld and boost the growth of our company in terms of revenues and personnel.
