Development of a Smart Pressure Activated Buoy Beacon
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-10
Summary
The Client's state of the art rope-on-command (ROC) gear effectively removes all vertical lines and buoys from the water column and provides fixed trapped crab and lobster fishermen a method of fishing that poses no entanglement risks to marine mammals, most notably the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
The primary goal of this project is to develop an innovative enhancement to this ROC technology that increases the visibility of the buoy system once it is deployed and reaches the ocean surface. This addresses concerns from fishermen that the existing buoy is hard to locate in harsh conditions such as fog, low visibility, high sea states, tides and currents.

Description
The Client's state of the art rope-on-command (ROC) gear effectively removes all vertical lines and buoys from the water column and provides fixed trapped crab and lobster fishermen a method of fishing that poses no entanglement risks to marine mammals, most notably the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
The primary goal of this project is to develop an innovative enhancement to this ROC technology that increases the visibility of the buoy system once it is deployed and reaches the ocean surface. This addresses concerns from fishermen that the existing buoy is hard to locate in harsh conditions such as fog, low visibility, high sea states, tides and currents.
Description (French)
L’équipement de pointe du client, la corde sur commande (ROC), élimine efficacement toutes les lignes verticales et les bouées de la colonne d’eau et fournit aux pêcheurs de crabes et de homards une méthode de pêche qui ne pose aucun risque d’enchevêtrement pour les mammifères marins, en particulier la baleine franche de l’Atlantique Nord, gravement menacée d’extinction. L’objectif principal de ce projet est de développer une amélioration innovante de cette technologie ROC qui augmente la visibilité du système de bouées une fois qu’il est déployé et qu’il atteint la surface de l’océan. Cela répond aux préoccupations des pêcheurs qui estiment que la bouée existante est difficile à localiser dans des conditions difficiles telles que le brouillard, la faible visibilité, l’état de la mer, les marées et les courants.
