At Satlink, we see sustainability as a central pillar in our developments. We strive to ensure that the information provided by our ecosystem of solutions supports the work of those who use the ocean, helping them to make informed, sustainable and efficient decisions. We also work hand in hand with those who study and manage the use of marine resources, providing fleet monitoring and tracking tools that allow us to better understand how the oceans are being used.

We are proud to lead all kinds of initiatives and partnerships.

We connect industry, the scientific community and managers to move ever closer to a blue future, protecting the oceans and the species that inhabit them.

WE COLLABORATE WITH UNIVERSITIES, NGOs AND RESEARCH CENTRES AROUND THE WORLD TO PROTECT THE OCEANS.

PROJECT RECON - Circular Economy

In late 2022, Satlink launched a unique worldwide collaboration network between fishing companies and local partners to recondition sustainable fishing devices and give them a second life. Project ReCon has become one of the most significant initiatives in the world, setting the roadmap for the future of fisheries sustainability by recovering and refurbishing echosounder buoys used by the tropical tuna purse seine fishing fleet for scientific and environmental purposes, such as tracking and monitoring marine debris, scientific research, or natural disaster prevention, among others. As of today, over 22 companies and 100 vessels participate in Project ReCon, along with local partners worldwide.

SelecTuna

With the goal of improving selective fishing for tropical tuna and accurately distinguishing between the three primary species, Project SelecTuna, launched by the Spanish fleet in Opagac and Satlink, is deploying technology across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans to gather data over a year. This data will enable more efficient fishing while protecting vulnerable species, supporting long-term sustainability.

Life Oasis

Satlink is part of the Life Oasis project, a consortium of scientists, fishermen, regulators, authorities and technology companies committed to turtle conservation in the Mediterranean.

ZERO IMPACT

At Satlink, we actively engage in reducing impacts on marine ecosystems through our Zero Impact Campaign. This effort has led to over 100 tonnes of disused fishing nets being collected and recycled along the coast of Chile. This has been possible thanks to the coordinated work of Bureo, Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) and World Animal Protection (WAP), with whom we established circular economy schemes for the collected materials in artisanal fishing communities. The proceeds from the project ensured its long-term continuity and funded educational efforts and programmes in each community.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE OCEANS

The information collected and gathered by our systems finds applications in various fields, from fleet management and fishing pressure monitoring to research on pelagic species.

We engage with scientific institutions around the world to make the best possible use of our data, creating partnerships between industry, the technology sector and the scientific community to advance the scientific study of the oceans and their resources.
