'TECH + TOUCH'APPROACH
eCDT, FIN-& Ed-TECH ECOSYSTEM
Our work promotes digital and financial inclusion. Our approach is directed by a suite of fisher-driven 'eCDT' technologies that relate to data empowerment, seafood traceability, fully documented fisheries, fair and transparent supply chains, and community cohesion and entrepreneurship. Critically, we believe that these elements are precursors to longer-term fisheries improvement actions for a transition towards triple bottom line sustainability.
