Marine ecosystems and global food security are under direct threat from illicit and unsustainable fishing practices, notably bottom trawling. These actions compromise the very foundation of fisheries that numerous communities rely upon for sustenance.
We develop a comprehensive monitoring tool to identify dark vessels, collect evidence of illegal activities, and analyze risk levels.
We apply AIS data overlaying with satellite and SAR images to:
We solve challenge #2: Strengthening food security & access to clean water, with a special focus on catching illegal unreported, and unregulated fishing activities.
