The complete solution for fisheries monitoring
Sinay unifies REM, onboard observers, and AI data into one system designed for national programs. Cover everything from deployment to compliance-ready reporting at any scale.
Programs we helped build
OBSCAMe
- 110+ vessels
- 5-year national program
- Multi-phase rollout from pilot to scale
OBSmer
- 90+ vessels
- Ongoing national program since 2009
- Observer-based monitoring
CEFAS
- 20 vessels
- UK government agency
- Monitoring fishing/wildlife interactions
The problem
Fisheries monitoring breaks down as you go from 10 to 100 vessels
Multiple systems, no single view
REM, onboard observers, logbooks, and external data live in separate formats and tools.
Processing slows with growth
As fleets grow, data and review volume increase. Video analysis, data handling and reporting become bottlenecks.
Data is hard to trust and defend
Different sources require manual reconciliation. Outputs are difficult to validate and defend during audits.
Sinay Fisheries Monitoring
One scalable system for REM, observers, and reporting
Sinay’s monitoring platform replaces fragmented environmental processes with continuous, automated intelligence.
One system designed to grow
Our system supports everything from pilot vessels to full fleets without requiring any new configuration. Camera setup, sampling, and processing capacity flex as needed.
- REM hardware deployment and configuration at scale
- Automatic data ingestion from any vessel type
- Multi-gear, multi-species program support
AI processing validated by expert observers
We use AI to pre-process REM footage, detect events, and reduce review volume. Trained reviewers validate and annotate data, then combine it with observations & other sources to maintain consistency.
- AI pre-screens footage to flag key events
- Ifremer-certified reviewers validate every detection
- Species identification: mammals, elasmobranchs, seabirds
All monitoring data stays in one place
REM data, observer records, logbooks, and external data sources are unified in a single system. It’s standardized, time-aligned, and linked to vessel activity for consistent analysis and reporting.
- Single source of truth for all monitoring data
- Cross-reference REM, observers, and logbooks
- Real-time dashboards with fleet-wide visibility
Data designed for regulatory use
All data is timestamped, vessel-linked, and traceable to source records. Standardized datasets and reports align with regulatory requirements and are ready for audit and submission.
- Auto-generated compliance reports per vessel
- Full audit trail: every record traceable to source
- Exportable formats for Ifremer, CEFAS, DPMA

Frequently asked questions
We’re here to help with all your questions and answers in one place. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Reach out to our support team directly.
What is Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM)?
REM uses cameras and sensors installed on fishing vessels to record fishing activity. The footage is then analyzed — using AI and trained reviewers — to monitor catch composition, bycatch events, and compliance with fishing regulations.
What vessel types does Sinay support?
Sinay supports all major commercial vessel types including gillnetters, trawlers, longliners, seiners, and potters. Our REM hardware and platform are gear-agnostic and can be configured for any fishing method.
How does AI improve the review process?
Our AI pre-screens REM footage to detect and flag key events — catch hauls, bycatch, discards, and species interactions. This dramatically reduces the volume of footage that human reviewers need to watch, while Ifremer-certified observers validate every flagged event for accuracy.
Can Sinay handle national-scale programs?
Yes. Sinay currently operates the OBSCAMe program with 110+ vessels and has managed monitoring programs for French and UK authorities. Our platform is designed for fleet-wide deployment with centralized data management and reporting.
What data formats do regulatory reports use?
Reports are generated in formats required by local regulatory authorities — including Ifremer, CEFAS, and DPMA standards. All datasets are timestamped, vessel-linked, and traceable to source records for full auditability.
