About SensFish
SensFish is a UK-based Operational Ocean Intelligence company transforming Earth Observation, Artificial Intelligence and environmental data into practical operational intelligence for fisheries and the wider blue economy. Working directly with governments, fisheries cooperatives, seafood processors and vertically integrated fishing fleets, the platform enables stakeholders to understand changing ocean conditions in both real and predictive time, helping identify where and when commercially valuable fish are most likely to aggregate, anticipate environmental risks such as harmful algal blooms and marine heatwaves, optimise fishing operations, reduce fuel consumption and operational costs, improve catch efficiency and strengthen long-term resilience.
By translating complex environmental and space-derived data into actionable decision-support, SensFish helps fisheries move from reactive to predictive operations. The platform supports more efficient, responsible and profitable fisheries, strengthening food security, market competitiveness and the sustainable management of marine resources, while enabling governments and industry to make faster, evidence-based decisions in response to a changing climate.
