This project will bring alternative energy and satellite technology into the design, deployment and functioning of Fish Aggregate Devices for fishers. The project objectives are: (i) To design, fabricate and deploy a SMART FAD within 4 months of signing off on the project; (ii) To introduce fishers to more sustainable fishing habits and management practices by improving their knowledge on how their actions can impact their environment by the 5th month of the project; and (iii) To develop the capacity of the project proponent in project management and through the preparation of a five year strategic plan for implementation. When successfully implemented, this project should prevent FADs from getting lost and therefore diminish ghost fishing, and overall, would significantly optimize the process.
