Bilde2– RemoraXYZ
RemoraXYZ from Costa Rica has developed technological solutions that give small coastal fleets the possibility to maintain cost-efficient and reliable traceability of their catch, enabling even small vessels to document the sustainability of their catch.
Most of the schemes documenting sustainability of the catch are designed for industry scale operations, and high price excludes artisanal and coastal fleets from participation. However, the benefit of sustainability documentation and price premium can become a major benefit for these groups of fishermen globally. Using creativity and novel solutions Remora XYZ gives small coastal fleets and artisanal fishermen an opportunity to document sustainability and harvest the benefits.
