Oceans Technology Solutions
Find tools to help incorporate technology into your fishery
We are in the middle of a digital revolution that is enabling better fisheries management, smarter business decisions and more resilient coastal communities. An increasingly vast array of technological innovations — from automated species recognition software to aerial drones to acoustic monitoring — are being applied to fisheries around the world. These pioneering technologies can turn fishing vessels into "smart boats" and transform how we manage fisheries in the face of climate change, supporting thriving and resilient communities and ecosystems.
You can learn more about oceans technology solutions through our additional learning resources and in the video below.
EDF has a suite of tools to demonstrate how technology is being used in fisheries around the world, and how you might incorporate technology into your own fishery.

Our new report Technologies for Climate-Resilient Fisheries describes the most promising ways technology can help to meet the biggest climate challenges facing fisheries: 1) understanding the ecosystem impacts of changing ocean conditions; 2) adapting to shifting fish stocks; 3) managing in the face of change; and 4) increasing the climate resilience of vulnerable small-scale fishing communities. The report provides practical examples of the technologies helping to address each of these specific climate challenges.
