Digitalises fisheries monitoring using AI, satellite tracking and DNA testing to catch illegal fishing practices.

Context

Illegal fishing is hard to detect and stop with traditional methods. FIDEL combines smart vessel tracking, IoT gear tags, electronic logbooks, satellite surveillance, AI image recognition and portable DNA testing into one system, making it much harder for illegal practices to go unnoticed.

Main objectives

1) Digitalise fisheries monitoring using IoT, AI and satellite tools. 2) Detect illegal fishing practices in real time. 3) Strengthen implementation of the EU Landing Obligation. 4) Support sustainable fisheries management through tamper-proof data sharing.

Main results

This project has only just begun. We will update the content as soon as results become available.
