The Techno Net

My invention is called The Techno Net. The Techno Net will be used to address overfishing in our oceans and seas. It will be an attachment to fishing boats. It will catch fish until the sensor detects an allocated maximum weight of fish. After that, the sensors will transmit signals to the top of the pole to let the chain loose. Once that is done the cap will descend onto the metal frame of the net and lock onto it to stop any other fish from entering the net. Then when needed, the fishermen can push a button attached to their boat to fold the pole up and bring the fishing net to them through a hole in the middle of their boats. Finally, the fishermen can pull off the cap and empty the net, put the fish in their freezer, and bring the payload to shore. This will help stop overfishing by providing the fishermen a tool to measure and limit their catch.

Thank you for your efforts to combat overfishing Charles, well done! Having a sensor which inhibits overfishing is such a good idea to make fishing boats more mindful of the fish population. I like that measures are included to physically stop the fishing to ensure species are protected. Amazing work Charles, keep inventing!
