Built for fishermen•Track your buoys in real time
SmartBuoy
Know where your buoys are — anytime.
SmartBuoy is a monitoring device you attach to your lobster trap buoy. It helps you track location and conditions so you can recover gear faster, avoid losses, and fish smarter.
GPS tracking
See buoy position
Temp + pressure
Monitor conditions
Entanglement alerts
Detect unusual movement
What you’ll see
Live location on a map
Track your buoy position and view movement over time.
Conditions at a glance
Temperature and pressure readings help you understand conditions offshore.
Wildlife entanglement detection
SmartBuoy can flag unusual motion patterns that may indicate an entanglement event, helping support safer marine operations.
Why it helps
Find your gear faster
If a buoy drifts, you can quickly see where it went instead of searching blindly.
Track multiple buoys
Manage several buoys from one place and switch between them in seconds.
Support safer marine operations
Entanglement detection can help surface abnormal movement patterns for faster awareness and response.
