Applications
- 4.2.1 Illegal Fishing Detection — Identifying vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing by fusing satellite SAR, AIS correlation and RF surveillance across a nation's exclusive economic zone.
- 4.2.2 Fishing Effort Mapping — Continuously mapping where, when and how intensively fishing fleets operate across a nation's EEZ and adjacent high seas using satellite AIS, SAR and RF surveillance.
- 4.2.3 Fish Stock Forecasting — Using satellite-derived ocean colour, sea surface temperature and altimetry to model fish stock distributions and predict seasonal abundance before fleets deploy.
- 4.2.4 Fleet Compliance Monitoring — Continuously verifying that licensed fishing vessels operate within their authorised zones, gear restrictions and catch-reporting obligations using satellite AIS, RF detection and optical revisit.
- 4.2.5 Aquaculture Site Monitoring — Tracking the health, biomass density, water quality and environmental footprint of marine and freshwater fish-farm sites using multispectral, SAR and thermal satellite imagery.
- 4.2.6 Fisheries Subsidies Verification — Using satellite AIS tracking, SAR imagery and optical observation to independently verify whether subsidised fishing vessels are operating where and how governments claim.
