Strat-Observer contribute actively to the Protection of our Oceans thanks to an enhanced Maritime Surveillance
Maritime surveillance for illegal fishing stands as a crucial endeavor with profound implications for the preservation of marine ecosystems and the protection of a nation's maritime resources. Illegal fishing, driven by profit-seeking and disregard for regulatory limits, poses a significant and multifaceted challenge. This illicit practice not only depletes fish stocks but also disrupts the livelihoods of legitimate fishermen and jeopardizes the delicate balance of aquatic ecosystems. As these unauthorized activities continue to undermine the sustainability of fisheries and the health of our oceans, effective monitoring and enforcement have become imperative.
The challenges posed by illegal fishing are far-reaching. Beyond its immediate economic impact on the fishing industry, it threatens the long-term health and productivity of marine ecosystems. Overfishing, by reducing fish populations, disrupts the food chain, impacting various species and their habitats. Furthermore, this illicit activity hinders responsible and sustainable fisheries management, endangering the future of a vital food source for millions of people worldwide.
Strat-Observer, with its innovative capabilities, emerges as a promising solution to address these pressing challenges. This sophisticated technology offers persistent monitoring capabilities, combining high-precision imagery with the ability to detect and track vessels equipped with Automatic Identification System (AIS) transponders. It provides essential data to support effective fisheries management and combat illegal fishing activities.
The system's capabilities extend to automatic detection and notification of vessels operating without AIS, a key tool for identifying unauthorized vessels involved in illegal fishing. Once detected, Strat-Observer promptly sends signals to the relevant authorities, enabling them to deploy their intervention strategies in real-time. This proactive response enhances the ability to intercept illegal fishing operations and enforce maritime regulations.
The benefits of employing Strat-Observer in this field are profound and far-reaching. By facilitating effective maritime surveillance, it helps protect marine biodiversity, allowing fish populations to recover and thrive. This, in turn, supports the overall health of aquatic ecosystems and ensures the long-term sustainability of fisheries. Strat-Observer serves as a valuable asset for international organizations, governments, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) committed to preserving our oceans. In doing so, it not only safeguards the environment but also upholds the livelihoods of countless individuals who depend on the sea for their sustenance and economic well-being.
Maritime surveillance for illegal fishing, when coupled with advanced technology like Strat-Observer, is a critical component of responsible marine resource management. It represents a vital step in safeguarding the world's oceans and supporting the well-being of communities that rely on these valuable resources.

Oil palm trees health in Malaysia
MYSA, the Malaysian Space Agency, is developing indicators to monitor the health of plants to support agriculture and forestry. A major priority is the health of oil palm trees, essential to Malaysia’s position as a leading palm oil producer.
FrieslandCampina trusts Starling for their sustainable palm oil sourcing
The production of commodities such as palm oil, cocoa, soy, and pulp and paper is responsible for over 70 percent of tropical deforestation . To combat this, it is important for agro food industries to have detailed knowledge of their supply chains to address deforestation development risks effectively.
