Space Intelligence partners with Fisheries Innovation Scotland to explore how satellite technology can transform Scottish seafood
“Technology obviously has a role to play in supporting the fisheries sector, as the sector looks to become more profitable, more sustainable and is improving people’s livelihoods. At the moment, there is a gap between what satellite technology currently does, and what the possibilities are. We will conduct blue-sky research, by reviewing what tech is out there and what could conceivably be developed to support the sector.”
“The key,” Murray explains, “is that our research is driven by the challenges faced by the sector - rather than the technology itself. We want to explore the possibilities from systems that already exist, rather than reinvent the wheel.”

The government has announced the allocation of additional fishing quota between Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
Fisheries Minister Victoria Prentis said: I am pleased to announce how we will allocate the additional fishing quota we have obtained from leaving the EU across the UK fishing industry.
As an independent coastal state we can now make new decisions on how we manage our fisheries. These additional fishing opportunities will deliver increased economic benefits to fishermen and coastal communities across the Union.
Fisheries is a devolved matter so each administration will now decide how to allocate their share of this additional quota to their industry.
