Environmental Responsibility
|
Our shop promotes environmental solutions for protecting our wildlife and fishery resources.
We have developed numerous gears for use in seines, trawls and trap nets to reduce the amount of un-wanted bycatch.
Some of our designs and implementations are still in use today.
Should you or your agency wish to talk about any environmentally responsible projects or developments, please contact us. We have the expertise.
