The mission:
Year one.
-Develop a Remotely Operated submarine Vehicle that will act as a test platform for a robotic scallop harvesting tool.
-Develop a catch mechanism capable of individually harvesting scallops.
-Conduct a feasibility study that outlines the challenges and potential of the robotic scallop harvesting tool.
Year two.
-Use the demonstrated success of the prototype to attract additional funding, allowing the robotic scallop harvesting tool to evolve to a point where it will offer a direct alternative to scallop dredge gear.
We are looking for a marine research institute that is willing assist in the production of the feasibility study.
I believe people powered development is the key to generating a future that is filled with beneficial technologies and working together we can leave a legacy of mindful fishing.
