Fisheries Control and Environmental Monitoring

Fishing fleets are annually losing $50 billion USD due to depleted stocks, poor fishery management and little supervision. The cumulative global loss of wealth over the past three decades is estimated at $2.2 trillion (2008 World Bank report named “The Sunken Billions”).

A recent study showed that up to 810,000 tons of oily waste are intentionally and illegally dumped into the world’s oceans by commercial vessels annually. Nevertheless, the EU, the US and other countries are increasingly investing significant resources to pinpoint and catch environmental offenders – a fact that might cost millions to the companies themselves in legal costs and damaged public image.

Fishing areas monitoring - MarInt presents real-time maritime domain awareness of all commercial fishing ships in a given area of interest 24/7, and analyzes their behavior in real time.

Locating and identifying ships that are involved in illegal, unregulated or unreported fishing (IUU) – MarInt enables authorities to pinpoint both local and foreign fishermen poaching inside the exclusive economic zone, enter prohibited Marine Protected Areas, etc., thus enhances their ability to take action and prevent exploitation.

Detection and analysis of oil spills in the predefined areas of interest - using active satellites, MarInt is able to detect oil spills, and provide actionable analysis reports to executives.

Historical Backtracking - Once a suspicious environmental harmful event is detected , MarInt enables the user to historically investigate a vessel or an area, in order to locate potential perpetrators and produce documentation.
