Challenge
Create an app that contains all applicable laws, regulations and decrees to assist IUU investigators and port inspectors.
Solution
KnowFish is a mobile app to help IUU investigators and port inspectors by providing easy access to laws, regulations, maps and species — all based on a user’s detected location.
How KnowFish Helps
*Mobile tool for countries that may lack the capacity and/or resources to effectively address IUU activities in their jurisdictions
*Potential to save countries time, money and resources
*Ability to report IUU fishing and seafood fraud
*Provides easy access to relevant information
Features
