For Governments and Institutions

We are transforming government data needs into revenue streams. At at good time. There is an ongoing shift towards data-driven solution.

Governments spend billions on manual fishery monitoring. Fishbuddy’s B2C2G model, however, offers a cost-effective, scalable, and impactful alternative.

For Partners (B2B)

We are contracted by the Norwegian Coast Guard to provide cutting-edge, patented AR and AI technology.

Our solutions enable efficient and accurate fish stock assessment, monitoring, and reporting, ensuring compliance with regulations while promoting sustainable ocean stewardship.

We Built the Future of Fishing

Fishbuddy combines AR technologies to enhance the fishing experience and contribute to marine science.

How it Works

Photo Taken

AI/AR Processing

Species-Size Result

Simply take a photo of your catch from within the app, using our patented technology, which combines the AR and AI — tells you about the fish species, length, weight and loads of other relevant data. This is the game changer on so many levels.

Impact

Every catch counts. For you – and for the planet.
Fishbuddy is the only recreational fishing app directly contributing to SDG14 – Life Below Water.

Citizen science made simple

Citizen science made simple – You catch fish. We log the data. The oceans get smarter.

Fishbuddy provides valid, high-quality data for both fishers and authorities – turning each user into a citizen scientist.

Our patented technology lets users log catches simply by taking a photo with their phone. Both improving the fishing experience and contributing valuable data for sustainability and Life Below Water.

93% of users say they would share catch data if it’s easy – so we made it easier than ever.

Partnered with the Norwegian Coast Guard

Using our tech to monitor fishing activity and protect biodiversity.

Helping governments replace manual inspections with AI

More insight, lower cost, and better sustainability.

Coastal recreational fishing is mostly free, and therefore largely unreported – leaving authorities with limited data on fish stocks and ecosystem health. Governments today spend heavily on monitoring, but still struggle with gaps in managing fisheries sustainably.

Current practice is outdated and lacks innovation, leading to inefficient management and dramatic changes in fishing stocks all over the world.

APPRECIATION FORM OUR CUSTOMERS

“The project goes beyond all our expectations, and we see this project as very valuable for resource control for the Coast Guard. This will further mean that Fishbuddy will have a product that can be exported outside Norway to other nations that the Norwegian Coast Guard cooperates with. This in turn will lead to the world population's “food dish” from the sea being better taken care of.”
