This is how
Salvamares was born, an initiative from the National Fishing Society (SNP) and
its associated companies, that within the Peru Sostenible forum was awarded
with the highest recognition PODS (Peru for the Sustainable Development Goals)
in the Planet Category, for being a program designed to save many species from
our Peruvian littoral, which generates climate change alerts in a timely manner
thanks to its technology and scientific information in real time. This is
considered a great contribution for the preservation of the planet and its
species.
This program,
created in 2017, has rescued over 5 thousand species and seeks to compile
information of the main predators that interact with the anchovy in fishing
season. In addition, it trains the crew of fishing vessels in the
identification and correct liberation of the species that get caught in the
nets such as birds, mammals and sea turtles. Its technology allows to have an
information system that collects data during the fishing and research
activities, which includes the following:
-
Acoustic information: To
determine the fish density and acoustic zooplankton for every nautical mile.
-
Biological data about
catches and composition per fishing set, such as the biometrics of the anchovy,
pompano and mackerel.
-
Satellite data regarding
the Vessels Monitoring System (VMS) with the purpose of knowing their behaviour.
In Hayduk
Corporation we are motivated to meet the goal of this program, in which 14 of
our vessels participate. Our aspiration is that this type of projects can be
implemented not only for Peruvian fisheries, but also around the world, in
order to reach awareness of the care of the marine ecosystem and to use its
resources in a sustainable way.
