Fisheries Electronic Monitoring Technical Coordinator
Alaska Region
Archipelago www.archipelago.ca has been a leader in electronic monitoring (EM) solutions for fisheries globally for over 40 years. Our innovative technology supports commercial fishing vessels, at-sea observers, and dockside monitors in collecting crucial data to manage global fisheries and promote sustainability for future generations. With our systems deployed on over 700 fishing vessels worldwide, we partner with government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, fish processors, and members of the commercial fishing industry, ensuring quality data supports sustainable fisheries.
Job Description
