DONATE

I am hoping to raise £5,000 to fund the development of FishingROV to a working prototype.

At the moment I am giving the project all the time I can in the evening/early morning but would love to be able to dedicate 1 day a week for 25 weeks and employ part timers for 25 days to develop control/video software, website development, battery reclamation. …

The first £500 would be used for materials – IP camera testing, synaptic foam floats, dome improvements, pressure testing the hull, through hull components etc…..

With your help I believe we can produce a fishing technique that will  reduce by-catch and minimize seabed disturbance. Producing a more sustainable and connected (commercial/sustenance) fishery.

Initially I see the pioneers being dedicated makers who can spare an hour or two to develop and improve the FishingROV and could use an additional income. Leading to a product or plans freely available that would enable the operator to selectively fish for commercial species, generating an income equivalent with a working wage with minimal outlay.
