Saltwater works closely with fishery managers and industry to design and implement programs that deliver high quality data within budget.

Our EM team oversees a range of contracts, from 5-year, 100+ vessel programs to 3-month machine learning projects. We work with governments, fishermen and non-profits on EM programs in a wide range of fisheries and gear types.

We recognize that each fishery is different and work closely with fishery managers and industry to design and implement programs that get needed data. In addition, we look for opportunities to collaborate with others to identify efficiencies that will bring down the costs of data collection and review, and find ways to add value to the data.
