What is Remora Technologies All About?
Remora Technologies is all about enabling sustainability through technology. Their innovative solutions provide continuous assessment across several segments of the fishing value chain. The goal? To ensure sustainable practices while connecting small fishing communities to high-end markets. It’s a fresh approach that combines technology, education, and marketing to guarantee a high-quality, traceable product from the sea all the way to the plate.
The Main Benefit: Transparency and Traceability
Here’s why Remora stands out:
- Nearly 90% of the world’s marine fish stocks are overexploited.
- Technology collects data across three key supply chain segments: catch, landing, and commercialization.
- Proprietary hardware and software enable data intelligence through a visualization platform.
- Monitors catch, fish breeding cycles, percentage of catch and by-catch, and more.
- Vessel monitoring system tracks WHERE boats are fishing.
- Smart scales at landing centers reveal WHAT is being caught.
- An eCommerce platform connects responsible fishermen with conscious consumers.
- Data Fishing Management Platform helps UNDERSTAND and cross-analyze all this information.
Addressing the Fishing Industry’s Biggest Challenges
The fishing industry faces some serious problems. Overexploitation of marine resources is a huge one. While there have been advances in tracking WHERE boats fish, innovation in gathering data on WHAT they catch has been rare. Consumers are getting more aware of their impact and the fragile state of the ocean, but there’s a gap—no products truly connect responsible fisheries with these conscious buyers. Remora Technologies fills that gap by offering a transparent, traceable link from sea to plate.
How Technology Meets Creativity for Sustainable Solutions
Catch documentation schemes (CDS) can only work if traceability is assured. That means monitoring different segments of the supply chain effectively. This is where technology meets creativity. Remora’s approach combines both to develop effective solutions that ensure sustainability of marine resources. Their tools don’t just track data—they make it actionable, helping fishermen, policy-makers, and consumers alike.
Empowering Fishermen, Policymakers, and Consumers
Remora’s technology isn’t just about data collection. It’s about empowerment. Fishermen get tools to increase the value of their product. Policymakers receive insights to regulate and understand marine stocks better. And consumers gain the ability to make informed choices, opting for responsibly caught fish. It’s a win-win-win situation that promotes sustainability at every level.

Connecting Communities and Markets for a Sustainable Future
At its core, Remora Technologies acts as a catalyst towards sustainable fisheries, focusing especially on small-scale fisheries. Transparency from sea-to-plate isn’t just a slogan—it’s the foundation of their mission. By bridging the gap between responsible fishermen and conscious consumers, they’re creating a marketplace that values sustainability and traceability. It’s about making sure the ocean’s resources are protected while supporting the livelihoods of those who depend on them. And that’s something worth getting behind.
