Why Choose CLS

Over 90 countries use our fisheries management products and services.

To protect marine resources and ensure a future for the Blue Economy, we continuously innovate to support clients as they scale up their sustainable management. We help fishers and administrators better understand and manage fisheries, by providing the highest-quality data, expertise, software, hardware, and value-added services.

Both shareholders work for the long term and share CLS’ vision and philosophy of using the latest space and data technologies to sustainably manage the Earth’s resources. We have been operating satellite systems and providing high value-added products and services since 1986.

We believe in a fairly managed fisheries world where fishers, administrations, and service providers work together to ensure a sustainable future.

With our global experience (950+ employees, premises in 33 sites and all the ocean basins) and local presence (extensive distributor network), we understand our clients’ needs and are always on-hand to provide the best solutions.
