Track Illegal Fishing Operations From Your Computer
The program allows anyone with an internet connection to monitor the world's fishing vessels for free in near real-time. Millions of people depend on the world’s oceans for their food and livelihood, but they’re still consistently under threat by over fishing, illegal fishing, and habitat destruction. In an effort to protect them, a new project hopes to let any member of the public with an internet connection act as a watchdog, monitoring fisheries for potentially illegal behavior from their living rooms.
