Driving Impact Across Innovation, Industry & Inclusion

We integrate fisheries and aquaculture technology that delivers fast ROI and meets the rules on the water. Our approach is vendor-agnostic: we match the tool to your licence conditions, export markets, and operating reality—then we train crews and stand behind the rollout. That includes DFO-qualified ELOG apps (with your 24-character ELOG key) and gear solutions aligned to the 2025 whalesafe measures (LBS ≈1,700 lbf, shallow-water pilot) plus exporter workflows for EU CATCH digital catch certificates.

What we implement

ELOG Setup & Training
Onboard to a DFO-qualified logbook, secure and install your ELOG key, train crews, and monitor first-week transmits to eliminate rejects.

Whalesafe Gear (LBS) Compliance Kits
Supply ≤ 1,700 lbf low-breaking-strength components, rigging diagrams (one-end line), dockside install and sign-off—mapped to 2025 NARW measures and the shallow-water pilot where eligible.

Smart Buoys (Gear Tracking)
Satellite-connected buoys to track gear location/movement and alert on drift—proven in Canadian ghost-gear pilots to reduce loss and speed retrieval.

On-Demand (“Ropeless”) Retrieval
Integration and crew training for rope-on-command systems used in authorized pilots/closed areas; acoustic release workflow end-to-end.

EU CATCH & Processor Traceability
Gap-check and implement workflows so exporters can submit digital catch certificates—mandatory for EU importers from 9–10 Jan 2026—with plant digitalization/traceability to back it up.

ROVs for Net & Infrastructure Inspection
Rapid, diver-free inspections of nets, moorings, hulls and site assets using portable ROVs field-tested in aquaculture operations.

AI Monitoring (Computer Vision + O2/Aeration Control)
Pair camera-based welfare/lice/biomass analytics with real-time oxygen monitoring and automated aeration to improve outcomes and cut interventions.

How we choose tools

  • Compliance-anchored: We map every deployment to DFO rules (ELOG qualification & keys; whalesafe pilot specs incl. ~1,700 lbf LBS) and market requirements (EU CATCH).
  • Field-proven: We prioritize solutions demonstrated in Canadian pilots (e.g., smart buoys under Ghost Gear projects).
  • Interoperable: Plant systems and exporter workflows leverage standards-aligned traceability standards-aligned traceability (e.g., GDST/EPCIS)..

Selected work

Fathom, a platform for the group-benefits industry, built and deployed

Scotia Blue Technology designed and built Fathom, a multi-tenant platform for the group insurance industry. Fathom automates the back-office work benefits brokers and firms otherwise do by hand.

Document analysis

Reads carrier renewal reports, census files, and plan booklets and pulls out the underwriting detail (loss ratios, pooling, rate tables, cost drivers) with no manual data entry.

Renewal forecasting

Projects age-band demographic drift and flags unused coverage, so an employer sees the shape of a renewal before the carrier letter arrives.

Enrollment mapping

Translates employee data into any insurer enrollment format, removing the per-carrier paperwork that ties a broker to one provider.

Carrier monitoring

Ingests insurer bulletins, matches each change to the affected clients, and drafts the client communication.

Built on Next.js and PostgreSQL with per-tenant data isolation, encrypted credentials, an append-only audit log, and metered model usage.

First client: East Coast Employee Benefits, a Halifax-based group benefits brokerage, is the platform first deployment.
