OUR Mission
Improving sustainability
‍at Sea with advanced technology.

Now more than ever, improving fisheries management is crucial for rebuilding fish stocks, restoring ecosystems to a healthy, productive state, and achieving sustainable growth in catches. As climate change impacts are disrupting the seafood supply chains, altering the distribution and abundance of fish and other marine species. We aim to have a transformative impact in the drive for efficiency, sustainability and resilience in the ocean economy. By developing a digital twin precision fisheries platform to: improve the efficiency and sustainability of seafood supply chains. 

integrated approach
Our strategic objectives
Innovating breakthrough technologies
The Fishtwin project initiative seeks to develop powerful tools and methodologies that integrate climate adaptation and mitigation into a single strategic objective.
Foster collaborative R&D, and innovation
We are focused to engage with partners across the entire value chain, through applied research and innovation that improve sustainability of aquatic food systems.
Advancing climate change adaptation & resilience
Fishtwin aligns its UN SDGs strategy with top National Science priorities to contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation .
Driving societal impact
Focusing on thematic domains of societal relevance such as regional climate change impacts, natural hazards, and marine ecosystem dynamics.

The Benefits Fishtwin will Create

The project seeks to compliment Australia’s 2050 net zero emissions target under the  UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement .The project's interventions will make a direct contribution to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 13(Climate Action), while supporting life below water (Goal 14), and economic development (Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth).

Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture
Biodiversity management & ecosystem connectivity
Supply Chain resilience and efficiency to increase productivity
Data connectivity and knowledge base generation
Intergrated coastal zone management
Accelerate monitoring and enforcement

Protecting the ocean and the services it provides to the planet is imperative

60%
Climate change may cause the loss of up to 60% of fish species by 2100 (World Economic Forum, 2020).
300M
Tons of global commercial vessels fuel consumed per year (UNFCCC,2019)
$25b
Australia's coasts & oceans provide $25b worth of ecosystem services (Eadie & Hosington, 2011).
35.4%

Our vision

Navigating tomorrow today

It's our ambition to become a force in advancing breakthrough technologies, science, and positively impacting a sustainable ocean economy. Today, that means taking steps to drive climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience, and bringing more clarity to the uncertain ocean future. We strive to foster cooperation in tackling the impact of climate change on fisheries management and a sustainable ocean economy. It's all down to collaborative approaches, from different stakeholders, like you, engaging in different roles. Help us improve sustainability at sea for the better.
