FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

No- other fishermen cannot see your data on WATERFRONT. This includes trap locations, fishing locations, and crew members. You can choose to share your information with offshore wind developers to help them better understand where fishing vessels are most active, but this feature is completely optional.

You can pinpoint exactly where your gear is in the water with WATERFRONT. Gear pinning allows you to select start and end dates, gear type (fixed, mobile), and a custom name and photo to identify gear. Gear pinning maintains a historical record of your activity, facilitating evidence-based gear loss/damage claims. This information will not be shared unless you choose to share.

We are currently working to overlay nautical charts to make it even easier for fishing vessels to track their traps and gear whilst in the water.

There are many features in WATERFRONT that can be applied to the fishing community. You can record ecological sightings to help track marine animals, track your traps and gear with GPS features, and see where offshore wind developers plan to build their wind farms.

We are currently working to add features that allow all members of a fishing vessel to share data across their accounts. This includes shared data of trap and gear locations and ecological sightings.
