A FOCUS ON DIGITAL INNOVATION:
FishOps is developed by the Western Rock Lobster Council (WRL) with support from FRDC through project 2021-030. FishOps is paving the way for the next generation of fishers.
“This industry has always been about leading, not following,” says Matt Taylor (WRL CEO).
“FishOps is about giving our fishers better tools, improving our science, and showing the world that Australian lobster is not only sustainable but also traceable, transparent and world-class.”
