SmartNet Technology Under Development in Yarmouth

April 8, 2022 Canada

“The goal is to give the fishermen a better tool to assist catching fish, that is more efficient and is also aligning with what DFO wants to do with environmental issues with gear that is sustainable and that can achieve those goals well,” said SmartNet Technology Marc d’Entremont, founder and CEO of Katchi Technology in Yarmouth. The idea behind the SmartNet technology is that it eliminates the use of traditional trawl doors and uses a set of hydrodynamic blocks to open and fly the net at different levels in the water column, lessening the impact to the seabed floor and the ecosystem and enabling more selective fishing. >click to read< 15:33

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
