Peru Seeks to Expand Access to Satellite Information Against Illegal Fishing
Specialists, authorities, and fishermen presented proposals to expand access to satellite information in Peru during an event organized by Law, Environment and Natural Resources (DAR). The report "Monitoring Illegal Fishing through the Use of Satellite Images" indicates that illegal fishing generates losses of up to 23 billion dollars annually worldwide. Regional governments lack real-time access to data from the Satellite Tracking System (SISESAT) to monitor artisanal vessels.
