/tone’s mFish will
leverage the
adoption of mobile
phone use across
the developing
world to address
sustainable fishing
challenges and
improve economic
conditions in fishing
villages.
mFish will use mobile
services to provide real-time
information to help
fishermen, managers and
the seafood industry to
communicate, access
information and share data
seamlessly. Information can
be used to collect and
analyze catch data, monitor
illegal fishing, trace seafood
along supply chains, and
improve fishing safety Source: http://www.withtone.com/about/
