IUU fishing
Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, a direct drain on coastal-state economies.
IUU fishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, is fishing conducted in violation of national or international rules, outside reporting obligations, or beyond any regulatory framework. It drains coastal economies, empties fishing grounds that communities depend on, and often travels with other illicit maritime activity. Countering it starts with detection: satellite surveillance and fisheries analytics that make an EEZ visible, so patrol assets go where the violations are.
In practice
Countering illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing starts with detection, and that is where Unstrat helps a coastal-state buyer gain the advantage. IUU fishing drains coastal economies, empties the fishing grounds communities depend on, and often travels with other illicit maritime activity, but it can only be countered once it can be seen. Unstrat builds the satellite surveillance and fisheries analytics that make an exclusive economic zone visible, so patrol assets go where the violations actually are rather than searching blind. The advantage is protection of a nation's waters and the livelihoods and revenue tied to them, achieved through a picture the state owns and tasks itself. Keeping that surveillance sovereign supports the wider mission of asserting control over the maritime domain. As the accountable single channel, Unstrat integrates the pieces. Localisation arrangements are scoped per programme, subject to export controls and end-use approvals.
