Thus it results in significant cost savings and minimized impact on ocean ecosystems and it supports Clearwater’s sustainable approach to fishing.For this outstanding work, Esri Canada presented Clearwater Seafoods with an Award of Excellence in GIS on octber 27, 2015.
“GIS serves as the ideal platform to analyze, model and forecast outcomes so that we can significantly reduce our impact on the ocean floor while more efficiently conducting our harvest operations. More importantly, it enables us to plan our activities in a broader context towards long-term sustainability. This award from Esri Canada confirms that our efforts are successful; it also recognizes our efforts towards being good stewards of the ocean.”said James Mosher, Director, Harvest Science Management, Clearwater Seafoods.
