E80- Fishing with Satellites- Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated

1 in 5 fish that land on a dinner plate in America is a result of illegal fishing.* How do satellites identify illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing around the globe? What remote sensing data can be combined to better understand the extent of illegal fishing beyond what shipboard trackers do? Space-based capabilities have shed light on the regions in most danger of IUU fishing.  In this episode we talk to experts William Cromarty (Spire Global, Inc.) and Dr. Dee Pack (Aerospace) about this and the challenges that remain in terms of policy, technology and business. *The Pew Charitable Trusts, Nov 13, 2017 ArticleThe Space Policy Show is produced by The Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Space Policy and Strategy.  It is a virtual series covering a broad set of topics that span across the space enterprise.  CSPS brings together experts from within Aerospace, the government, academia, business, nonprofits, and the national labs.  The show and their podcasts are an opportunity to learn about and to stay engaged with the larger space policy community.
