How It Works

01

Onboard Video Observer

Shellcatch's onboard video observer is installed with the fisher and automatically verifies adherence to standards and good fishing practices in real time throughout the trip.

02

Data Capture

Shellcatch technology records species, GPS zone, fishing method, freshness, and sea conditions on every haul.

03

Legal Validation

We verify current permits, authorized fishing zones, species quotas, and compliance with all DPNG and Marine Reserve regulations.

04

The Sea in Your Hands

The customer scans the QR code and accesses the full story: freshness, exact origin, species, the fisher's name, and the story of the fishing trip.
