NEMO: Connecting, Protecting & Empowering Small-Scale Fisheries

Together, let's work to protect your traditional fishing industry and marine resources for the future.

NEMO is an end-to-end system for managing small-scale fisheries: a hybrid, mobile-satellite VMS transceiver, a Big Data fisheries monitoring platform, a suite of mobile apps, and a range of services. CLS has been the leader in industrial VMS and FMCs for 30 years, and that experience has been distilled into NEMO’s design. Added-value features have been specifically integrated to encourage support from fishing communities. With NEMO, we’re making proven fisheries solutions available and affordable for small-scale fishers.

Testimonial

“For me, it’s a very interesting device, modern, small, easy to handle and to carry, to install, it’s even waterproof….We have sailboats here, and they don’t have a battery…and this equipment works with a solar panel, that’s important….This device will give us the exact position where we work, how far we go. Then there would be no doubt; the authorities know how far the boat can go daily.

These days there’s a lot of talk about traceability. We are paid a much higher price for products that have a correct origin…now it’s more important to know which boat fished it, at what time, what day the boat left and what the catch is, to show that it came from an area that is ok for fishing….really very interesting, this NEMO device.”

A European Union Project for the Blue Economy

STARFISH logo

STARFISH 4.0 (Demonstration of a solar-powered Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and digital tools for the safety of artisanal fishermen and sustainable management of small-scale fisheries) is a 2-year project funded by the European Commission’s European Maritime and Fisheries Fund as part of its Blue Economy grant. The goal of this project is to collect user experience on the applications and the device, to continually improve and adapt the system, and foster fisherman engagement.
