NEMO

An All-in-One Solution Dedicated to the Protection and Sustainable Management of Fisheries

NEMO is the first all-in-one monitoring system specifically designed by CLS (Collecte Localisation Satellites) to address the unique challenges of artisanal fisheries. This innovative solution enables fisheries authorities and fleet managers to monitor, protect, and sustainably manage marine resources, while enhancing the safety of fishers at sea.

Thanks to global hybrid connectivity, NEMO ensures continuous vessel tracking, including in the most remote maritime areas.

Global Hybrid Connectivity Powered by Kinéis Nanosatellites

NEMO relies on a hybrid connectivity architecture:

Terrestrial IoT cellular networks (GPRS/IoT) in coastal areas
Automatic switch to Kinéis satellite connectivity as soon as vessels leave terrestrial coverage

This service continuity guarantees near real-time data transmission without interruption, regardless of vessel location. Space-based IoT enabled by Kinéis makes it possible to monitor and control fishing fleets across all the world’s oceans.

Fishing Vessel Monitoring with CLS VMS

The VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) developed by CLS and integrated into NEMO allows fisheries authorities to:

Track vessel position, movements, and activity
Receive near real-time alerts
Ensure compliance with maritime regulations

Onboard IoT devices transmit positioning data to Kinéis nanosatellites, which relay it automatically to the CLS digital platform. This information is then made available to fleet managers, fisheries authorities, and, where relevant, fishers.

Continuous Monitoring for Safety and Compliance

Through rigorous and permanent monitoring, NEMO enables authorities to:

Receive alerts related to fisher safety
Detect geofencing violations
Identify suspected IUU fishing (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated)
Verify full compliance with fishing regulations

This rapid response capability is essential to protecting marine ecosystems and ensuring responsible fisheries management.

A Key Enabler for Sustainable Marine Resource Management

The use of VMS technology for artisanal fisheries is a strategic tool for fisheries management. By collecting and analyzing near real-time data, NEMO enables:

Better understanding of fishing practices
Identification of fishing areas and effort distribution
More accurate assessment of fish stocks

These insights help authorities make informed decisions regarding:

Fishing quotas
Seasonal closures
Marine protected areas

Ultimately, NEMO contributes to the long-term viability of fish populations and the preservation of marine resources for future generations.

FISHWeb: An Intuitive Web Platform for Fleet Management

FISHWeb is the web portal developed by CLS to support the NEMO solution. It provides fleet managers and authorities with:

Secure access to fleet data
Visualization of vessel positions and routes
Alert management
Customized analytics tools

FISHWeb also helps fishers and vessel owners optimize operations and enhance transparency across their activities.
