At SmartBuoy, we’re redefining the future of lobster fishing—making it smarter, safer, and more sustainable. For decades, fishermen have faced two major challenges: the risk of entanglement with marine wildlife and the inability to monitor traps in real time.
Our vision is to bring technology and tradition together to protect the ocean and empower those who depend on it. The SmartBuoy is a rugged, buoy-mounted system that combines advanced sensors, wireless connectivity, and cloud-based data services to give fishermen immediate insight into trap conditions.
Each buoy tracks GPS location, water temperature, and tidal movement while detecting signs of tampering or entanglement. Real-time data is transmitted via LTE to our web platform, where users can monitor multiple buoys, receive instant alerts, and locate traps with homing features. Built to endure harsh marine environments, the SmartBuoy operates for up to seven days without recharge and integrates seamlessly with existing gear.
By enhancing fishing efficiency and promoting marine conservation, SmartBuoy is solving a problem that costs both livelihoods and marine life.
