Electronic monitoring is transforming how fisheries are managed. Cameras installed on fishing vessels, combined with artificial intelligence, are creating unprecedented opportunities to improve transparency, compliance, and fisheries science.
In this episode of Ocean Intelligence, a podcast series by Natural Justice, we speak with Josh Wiersma from Integrated Monitoring about the rapid evolution of electronic monitoring (EM) in the seafood sector.
We discuss how onboard camera systems work, how AI can analyse fishing activity at scale, and why electronic monitoring is becoming a critical tool for fisheries management, sustainability, and supply chain accountability.
Topics covered include:
• What electronic monitoring systems are and how they work
• The role of AI in analysing fishing activity and catch data
• How cameras onboard vessels can support fisheries compliance
• Opportunities and challenges in scaling EM programmes globally
• The future of technology-driven fisheries management
As governments, seafood companies, and researchers look for better ways to monitor fishing activity, electronic monitoring is emerging as one of the most powerful tools available.
Ocean Intelligence is a podcast series by Natural Justice exploring technology, policy, and innovation shaping the future of fisheries and aquaculture.
