Funded Activity Summary

Law And Policy Framework For Remote Sensing In Maritime Enforcement. This project aims to address a gap in national and international law relating to the use of modern technology in fisheries enforcement. It will advance the fight against illegal fishing by developing model legal frameworks to underpin the use of remotely sourced data in fisheries surveillance and enforcement. Expected outcomes include enabling Pacific Island Countries to rely on remotely sourced data to combat illegal fishing, conduct enforcement operations and prosecute fisheries offences. This should provide significant benefits, such as reducing the cost of fisheries enforcement, increasing the tools available to combat illegal fishing, and enhancing the capacity of Pacific Island Countries to protect their fisheries and maritime zones.
