The satellite monitoring system will detect fishing vessels over 15 meters.
The terminals ensuring the transmission of data relating to the location and activities of vessels will be installed in 874 vessels (that is 6.72% of the fleet).
This surveillance system will optimize the safety of fishermen and vessels and will be useful in combating illegal fishing which threatens seafood wealth and the sustainability of the sector. Furthermore, this system also provides a database for scientific research programs on monitoring the exploitation of fishing sites.
