Recreational Fishery Monitoring in Alabama
Alabama lands a significant percentage of the recreational red snapper in the Gulf and the majority of the recreational anglers funnel through the Perdido Pass. Teem Fish Monitoring Inc. installed a land-based electronic monitoring system (EM) with video at the mouth of the Perdido Pass to collect 24-hour footage of vessel activity.
Software with integrated Artificial Intelligence will be used to collect and analyze the following information for each day of Alabama’s 2019 recreational red snapper season:
Total private recreational fishing effort moving through Perdido Pass
Breakdown of effort between charters, headboats, and private angler boats
Estimate of how long each vessel is offshore
Teem Fish provided the following services:

- Remote hardware technical assistance, support, and system troubleshooting
- In-person secondary site visit (if necessary)
