After numerous trials in 2010 with existing solutions that proved ill-adapted and very costly, the Regroupement des p\u00eacheurs professionnels de la Gasp\u00e9sie (RPPSG) decided to create its own JBE. One of the fishermen, Samuel Dub\u00e9 Roussy, who is also a computer engineer, created the first JOBEL prototype.
