About this app

ER Buoy is an app intended to be used by mobile and fixed-gear fishermen using on-demand fishing gear. This app enables users with an Android device to automatically send their location to the EarthRanger platform so that anonymized on-demand fishing gear within 5 nautical miles of the user's location can be shown on the map in real-time. This app makes it easier for fishermen to deploy their ropeless gear while minimizing gear conflict with other fishermen, and indirectly reduces whale entanglements with fishing gear and reduces whale mortality
There is no login required to use this app. All gear data shown is completely anonymized to ensure data privacy.
