MEET OUR TEAM

Behind Insight360 is a unique team of fishermen, scientists, engineers, conservationists, and communicators working together to put industry experience at the heart of designing practical solutions to bycatch. Together we share the goal of working with the people who fish to develop ways to reduce and – one day – eliminate bycatch.

SHAPED FOR FISHING. BY FISHING.

Currently installed and being trialled aboard five commercial vessels working off the South West coast of England, fishers have been central to the Insight360 story from the start.

Working closely with our engineers, their unparalleled knowledge of boats, fishing and the sea is steering the development and ongoing refinement of the Insight360 tool. This expertise is what makes Insight360 a truly transformative approach to bycatch monitoring.

WHAT FISHERMEN ARE SAYING:

“CSMA members were keen to be involved in Insight360 to assist in the bycatch mitigation work and demonstrate how fishermen can support innovative monitoring technologies.”

– Gus Caslake, Seafish Industry Engagement Manager, SW & Independent Chair of the Cornish Sardine Management Association.

WHAT FISHERMEN ARE SAYING:

“Providing a platform to test Insight360 at sea during commercial fishing operations will support the design and development of a system that meets the requirements of UK fisheries.”

– Gus Caslake, Seafish Industry Engagement Manager, SW & Independent Chair of the Cornish Sardine Management Association.

Insight360 is feeding into broader initiatives to tackle bycatch underway around the UK. To find out more about this work visit Clean Catch UK.
