At Pontos, we address the critical challenge of ensuring food security while protecting marine ecosystems. Our mission is to empower the entire fisheries value chain to make sustainable decisions that create measurable social, economic, and environmental impact.
Technology & Innovation
Our flagship platform integrates multiple data sources to deliver comprehensive fisheries intelligence:
Satellite Data Integration: We leverage remote sensing technology to monitor ocean conditions, fish migration patterns, and environmental changes in real-time., Predictive Analytics: Our AI algorithms process historical and current data to forecast optimal fishing conditions, helping operators reduce fuel consumption and bycatch., Trip Planning Optimization: We provide actionable recommendations for when, where, and how to fish for maximum sustainability and economic return., Environmental Impact Scoring: Our platform evaluates and reports on the ecological footprint of fishing operations, supporting certification requirements.
Triple Bottom Line Impact
Pontos delivers value across three critical dimensions:
Environmental: We help preserve marine biodiversity by reducing overfishing, minimizing bycatch, and protecting vulnerable ecosystems., Social: We empower coastal communities by providing accessible technology that supports sustainable livelihoods and food security., Economic: Our solutions increase operational efficiency, reduce costs, and help fishing operations access premium markets for sustainably sourced seafood.
Vision for the Future
We envision a world where technology bridges the gap between sustainability and profitability in seafood production. By 2030, we aim to become the global standard for responsible fisheries management, supporting the transition to fully sustainable aquatic food systems worldwide.
