A new smartphone application can help “bridge the gap” between Rhode Island fishermen and consumers who want to buy directly from the source, according to the University of Rhode Island and several partners.
The FishLine app came into use locally this summer after the state changed regulations to allow Rhode Island fishermen to sell their catches directly to consumers at the docks. The state made the changes to help fishermen weather the coronavirus pandemic, which depressed sales and prices.
KINGSTON, R.I. (WLNE) – A new smartphone app launched in Rhode Island looks is connecting consumers with area fisherman selling local, fresh caught seafood.
The Fishline app was developed in California and has now been adapted for use in Rhode Island, according to a statement from the University of Rhode Island.
Now a new smartphone application is available to bridge the gap between the fishermen and potential customers, thanks to a partnership between the University of Rhode Island Fisheries Center, Rhode Island Sea Grant, Eating with the Ecosystem, the Commercial Fisheries Research Center, and the Rhode Island Seafood Marketing Collaborative.
WESTERLY — Hit hard by restaurant closures due to the coronavirus, Rhode Island fishermen welcomed a 120-day pilot program announced in May by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management that allows them to sell directly to consumers.
Now, there’s a free app called “FishLine" that shows which fishermen are selling which types of fish and where to find them. The app is a collaboration between the Rhode Island Seafood Marketing Collaborative, the Commercial Fisheries Center of Rhode Island, Eating with the Ecosystem and Rhode Island Sea Grant.
With the help of Conrad Johnson of Warwick, the Leonards set up a Facebook page to let customers know when they’ll be selling. They also notify people via an app, Fishline. Getting the word out is important. The windows for sale are tight since fishermen are allowed only to sell fish caught the same day. They must also sell the fish whole, or with just the heads cut off. The DEM worked closely with the Rhode Island Department of Health in developing the license and the rules are in place to make sure consumers are buying fresh fish, according to McNamee.
