This document explains the concept of real-time fishery management and how FACTS supports that concept. You will
read about the modules of FACTS and how they can be used together in any combination to meet the needs of fisheries
worldwide.
Electric Edge is the company behind FACTS. We have a decade of fisheries management system experience working for the
Department of Fisheries & Oceans Canada. For the last 7 years we've been an integral part of all systems that support
the BC Groundfish fisheries. The BC Groundfish fisheries are an excellent example of sophisticated monitoring programs
used in support of an individual vessel quota (IVQ) management plan.
