A new era of fisheries management is dawning in the Mediterranean, and Trackwell FiMS, along with its customers in the area, is at the forefront of driving this transformative change. With nearly three decades of experience, Trackwell FiMS has been instrumental in implementing Fisheries Management Systems (FMS) for Mediterranean states such as Greece, Cyprus, and Malta, revolutionising the way fisheries are monitored and managed.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most biologically diverse bodies of water in the world, but it also faces significant challenges. Overfishing, illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and environmental degradation are pressing concerns that require innovative solutions. Effective fisheries management is crucial to maintaining the balance between preserving marine biodiversity and supporting the livelihoods of those who depend on fishing.
Trackwell FiMS has been at the vanguard of incorporating advanced technologies into fisheries management. Our tailored solutions for monitoring and managing fisheries resources have helped Mediterranean countries like Greece, Cyprus, and Malta to better oversee their maritime resources.
One of the core components of Trackwell FiMS’ systems is vessel position tracking. This technology allows authorities to monitor the location and movements of fishing vessels in real-time, ensuring compliance with regulations and helping to combat illegal fishing activities.
Beyond basic tracking, Trackwell FiMS offers advanced modules that enable comprehensive fisheries management. These modules integrate various data sources to provide a holistic view of the fisheries environment, helping stakeholders make informed decisions that support sustainability.
FLUX (Fisheries Language for Universal Exchange) is a standard that has been pivotal in modernizing fisheries management. It allows for seamless data exchange between different stakeholders, enhancing transparency and efficiency in the management process.
Trackwell FiMS offers ready-to-use FLUX solutions that help clients meet EU compliance within weeks. Trackwell was one of the early adopters of FLUX, which has positioned the company as a leader in the industry.
The ability to exchange data seamlessly is crucial for the sustainability of marine resources. By using FLUX, Trackwell FiMS helps its clients not only meet regulatory standards but also gain valuable insights into operations, which can be used to improve decision-making and resource management.
Trackwell FiMS’ approach is characterized by close collaboration with its clients. In the Mediterranean, this means developing customized solutions that address the specific needs and challenges of the region’s fisheries.
The Mediterranean is a dynamic environment, with rapidly changing conditions that can affect fisheries. Trackwell FiMS’ systems are designed to adapt to these changes, ensuring that management practices remain effective and relevant.
One of the key benefits of Trackwell’s FMS is the use of real-time data. By providing up-to-the-minute information, our systems empower fisheries managers to make decisions that are both timely and informed, promoting sustainable practices.
Sustainable fisheries management is not just about maintaining fish stocks; it’s also about supporting broader environmental and social goals. Trackwell FiMS’ FLUX engine align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 14, which focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources.
Our systems help in preserving the rich biodiversity of the Mediterranean by preventing overfishing and ensuring that fishing practices do not harm the marine environment. By ensuring that fish stocks are managed sustainably, our technologies also support the long-term economic stability of communities that rely on fishing. This balance between ecological and economic priorities is crucial for the future of Mediterranean fisheries.
Trackwell FiMS is leading the charge in transforming fisheries management in the Mediterranean. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies, fostering close collaboration with local authorities, and prioritizing sustainability, Trackwell FiMS is not just addressing the challenges of today but is also setting the stage for a more sustainable future in the region. Our work ensures that the Mediterranean’s rich marine resources will be preserved for generations to come.
