InnovaSea Vemco Sonic Tags and Telemetry Equipment

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking to purchase InnovaSea Vemco Sonic Tags and Telemetry Equipment from a single source, InnovaSea Marine Systems Canada. The equipment includes submersible receivers, data telemetry transmitters, tags, proprietary or unique accessories, and software.
