Empowering European fisheries through digital innovation, trusted data, and smarter monitoring

DigiWaves

The vision of the DigiWaves project is a future where small-scale (SSF), long-distance (LDF), and recreational fisheries (RF) are fully integrated into a transparent, efficient, trusted, and data-driven European fisheries management system.

The objectives of the project are:

• To develop new approaches that improve existing data collection programs, enhance the processing of monitoring data and reduce overall monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) costs.
• Assess and improve the digital readiness of SSF, LDF and RF.
• Standardise and harmonise existing data standards, governance frameworks, and projects with technologies for automatic catch registration.
• Develop a secure, scalable, and interoperable data infrastructure that supports real-time and cost-efficient collection, integration, and analysis of fisheries-dependent data.

We will update this page with Anchor Lab's contributions to the project as they occur.
