FjordStrong commercializes a patented zero-impact biodiversity underwater survey system called Auto-release Baited Underwater Video (ABUV) and is developing state-of-the-art video analysis and automation software to produce user-friendly, demonstrative footage. The company was founded in 2019 and is based at Queen's Marine Laboratory in Portaferry on the shores of Strangford Lough. FjordStrong works with international NGOs and UK government agencies on projects supporting conservation of critically endangered skates and rays. It is collaborating with Inland Fisheries Ireland and BlueWise (previously SmartBay) in Galway to explore how marine renewable energy infrastructure can help protect vulnerable wildlife. The team positions its technology to improve stakeholder engagement and decision processes among agencies focused on marine biodiversity. The company closed a seed funding round to advance commercialisation and software development.
