Scope
Description
Remote Electronic Monitoring, (REM), is a data collection tool that can be installed on vessels to collect information on fishing activities and catches. A REM system typically consists of a control box, cameras and sensors collecting various data (video imagery, GPS positions, winch rotation activity, hydraulic pressure readings etc.), that can then be interpreted to generate information on when and where a vessel is fishing and what it is catching. Five priority fisheries were identified as part of that consultation process, fisheries A to E. Early adopter phases are the first step of our journey towards the implementation of REM across the priority fisheries over the next five years. We aim to begin working with vessels from the second priority fishery in 2025, and then each subsequent year beginning the next priority fishery. During this time, we will continue to refine our approaches and ways of working to ensure that when mandatory REM requirements are introduced, these are fit for purpose.
