The Pew Charitable Trusts launched a groundbreaking technology platform that will help authorities monitor, detect, and respond to illicit fishing activity across the world’s oceans.  Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite monitoring of the oceans with other information, such as fishing-vessel databases and oceanographic data, to help authorities detect suspicious fishing activity far more efficiently than has been possible in the past— often in near-real time. This video was updated with a newer version on Dec. 8, 2015.

La pêche illégale est un problème mondial qui menace le bon état de nos océans sur le long terme, aggrave les conséquences de la surpêche sur des écosystèmes marins cruciaux, et coûte jusqu’à 23,5 milliards de dollars par an selon les estimations. Elle concerne un poisson sur cinq pêché dandans le monde, et elle met en péril les moyens de subsistance de dix millions de personnes qui dépendent des ressources de l’océan.
