Abstract

Satellite technology is useful for the exploitation and exploration of marine living resources in a variety of ways. Remote sensing techniques improve our understanding about the seas and oceans in general, but also more specifically about abundance and distribution of target stocks. Satellites are also increasingly used for two-way communication between ship and shore or between ships. Many of the larger fishing operators depend on this to optimize their business strategies. The focus of this article is on relatively recent developments in using satellite technology for the monitoring and surveillance of fishing vessels.
