Catch Jersey is a cutting-edge mobile application designed for fishers, vessel owners and licence operators across the Jersey and French fishing fleets to simplify the process off recording and managing catch data. Built for the Government of Jersey, this native iOS & Android app providers users with an intuitive approach to logging catch data.
Why a Native App?
Out at sea, internet connectivity is often unreliable. Catch Jersey solves this by allowing users to record their catch data offline and sync when back online. This greatly reduces paperwork, errors and ensures timely and accurate reporting.
