/Initiative Objectives
Streamline traditional tuna fishery manual record keeping processes
Produce valuable data intelligence to improve operations
Simplify export compliance to meet traceability requirements
Drive a shift towards a sustainable seafood industry that protects our oceans and resources
Embracing Technlogy for Improved Efficiency
For generations, the industry has adhered to traditional methods, relying on manual processes for documentation, record-keeping, and traceability. While these age-old practices hold a certain charm, they have proven to be laborious, making it cumbersome to review, share, and utilize vital data. In light of these challenges, our team embarked on a journey to usher in a new era, where technology would alleviate the burden of record-keeping and champion responsible and traceable seafood sourcing.
The shift toward digital logbooks and traceability technology is not just a leap forward for the South African tuna fishery; it's a leap toward a more sustainable and responsible seafood industry. By embracing this technology, South African fisheries are not only safeguarding their livelihoods but also protecting the oceans and resources for future generations.
