Founded in 2014, FlyWire provides technology to track what happens on an individual fishing vessel, such as where the vessel sails, where it fishes, what is caught, and how much, seamlessly capturing critical fisheries data at sea. Integrated hardware is installed on-vessel to monitor catch, handling, efficiency, and vessel performance using video, GPS, and other sensors throughout the fishing trip. When the vessel returns, data are uploaded to the cloud, then AI processes big data sets for human review to finally generate reports for key stakeholders.
