Description

Fisheries control and enforcement aims to ensure the correct application of regulations regarding fisheries and to ensure compliance with these rules where necessary.

The objectives of this opportunity are to: 1. Assess and prioritise current and future fisheries control and enforcement challenges in the UK EEZ; 2. Identify and appraise innovative solutions for addressing those, including building upon current methods and technology developments; and, if appropriate; 3. Undertake proof of concept/trial work.

The challenges to fisheries control and enforcement cover a broad range of surveillance methods stretching from detection to deterrence. The initial evidence base established at the start of the project will scope out what these challenges are. Over the course of the project, the intent is to identify the potential use of new technologies and innovation in providing a solution to the challenges.

The Authority want to achieve developments in areas such as satellite technology, robotics, autonomous systems, machine learning, block chain and fish catch monitoring systems which have the potential to complement existing control and enforcement methods.
