BUOY
CURRENT HONOURS PROJECT
My honours year project is well underway - check out my blog for weekly updates of my progress.
Beginning the year I was set on developing solution to retrieve lost or disregarded fishing gear to minimise the 640million tonnes entering our seas each year. My design aims to deter/prevent the loss of ghost gear (particularly creels) at sea through improving the visibility of buoys. Through using wave power, I am developing a self sufficient and affordable lit buoy. The product is primarily directed for commercial fishermen using static gear as well as other water users.
DATES FOR YOUR DIARY:
Final design will be presented at the DJCAD degree show on the 22nd May 2020 and at New Designers event in London 8th-11th July.
- The research trip that solidified my pathway -
On the the Tuesday the 26th November I joined the crew of a fishing vessel

BLOG
Throughout the course of my honours project I have kept a weekly blog tracking my development and directional change. Keep in the loop with my thought process by reading my blog weekly.
