A Familiar Tool, Enhanced with New Capabilities

Join us for an In-depth discussion on the latest advancements in trawl sonar technology. These innovative systems go beyond monitoring gear shape—they now offer real-time insights into prey, predator, and ecosystem interactions. What can this data reveal? How can it support both captains and scientists in their decision-making?

We will also provide an update on the world’s only commercially available active bycatch avoidance system.

We look forward to seeing you there!
