Case Study: Victorian Fisheries Authority improves fisheries insights and angler engagement with Newpath Web

Victorian Fisheries Authority launches angler diary to 60,000 fishers with Newpath Web

The Victorian Fisheries Authority (VFA) sought to crowdsource data from anglers to scientifically monitor fish stocks and waterway health across Victoria. They partnered with Newpath Web to create a world-first mobile application, the Angler Diary, which needed to provide a seamless user experience to encourage adoption from a community of approximately 60,000 fishers.

Newpath Web developed the cross-platform app using React Native and integrated the Clicdata BI tool for data analysis. They implemented a phased release plan with gamification features that significantly boosted user engagement. The solution was launched on-time and on-budget, providing VFA’s data scientists with valuable catch data to inform waterway health reports and fish stock levels for the region.
