SafetyNet Technologies

Dan Watson (Great Britain)

"SNTech develops and scales trusted and valued solutions that enable sustainable practices in the fishing industry. Light, of interest to the fishing gear technology community since the 1970s, can be used as a tool to achieve this. Technologies such as LEDs and cheap manufacturing of hardware and electronics are opening up new commercial opportunities for the wider application of these selectivity devices. Pisces, SNTech's first commercialised product, is an underwater light that fits to fishing gear with a science-based service to reduce bycatch of unwanted species. Saving more fish, helping fishermen, and protecting an increasingly essential food source now and for the future."
