The Bridge Console is a real-time interface which provides the user with an easy-to-use interface to capture vessel activities and observations as they happen (real-time). These operations include starting and ending a vessel’s trip, fishing and non-fishing activities and adding environmental, marine life, debris and other observations. The real-time user interface has an “intelligent and dynamic” commands-bar which is constantly updated to reflect the vessel’s current activity or phase of operation. The “Bridge Console” can also use as a data entry hub for many other data recording and reporting utilities such as: Catch recording, information regarding fishing gear used, recording of catch size structure and more.
