Trap Timer vs Blue Ocean Gear

Track your Sub Sea Sonics ropeless gear. This app collects the information you provide - name, fishery, email, etc. and the location and time of each trap deployed. That data is sent to Sub Sea Sonics where the locations are shared to avoid entanglements. The data elements that are shared with other fishers is determined by the Ropeless Manufacturer's Workgroup. Depending on the fishery, data may also be shared with the appropriate regulatory agencies. You data is not used for marketing purposes and is not sold or given to data brokers.
