“To solve the overfishing problem, including illegal fishing, we want to create transparency in the oceans,” Gustavsson told the Thomson Reuters Foundation from Madrid.
#Oceana, an international conservation organization, together with #Google_Ocean and #SkyTruth, a nonprofit group that uses aerial and satellite images to track changes in the landscape, are due to launch the #Global_Fishing_Tracker within weeks.
The public, non-governmental organizations and local authorities will be able to use it to monitor coastlines and marine conservation areas, follow individual boats in near real-time and track what boats of a particular flag are doing.
