Maritime applications
- Information gathered by Earth observation satellites is of great value for managing and monitoring ocean surfaces and coastal areas, both of which play a major role in the Earth痴 ecological balance and host major economic activities.


You need
- To manage natural resources or assure maritime security in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
To enforce national and international regulations.
You work in:
-
the fishing industry:
-
  • monitoring fishing and estimating the number of vessels in EEZs,
  • controlling fishing activities,
  • managing fisheries sustainably.

-
the environment:
  • managing the coastal and ocean environment,
  • tracking down pollution,
  • combatting illegal practices.

Ready-to-use products and services
  • Thematic maps:
    - Maps showing vessel-frequented areas: number and type of vessels, kind of fishing practices,
    - Maps showing pollution, silting up?
  • Creation of knowledge databases: library of vessels entering the EEZ to help identify detected vessels
  • Statistics on numbers of vessels in the area,
  • Near real-time detection of vessels using radar imagery to assist enforcement,
  • Regular monitoring of critical areas:
    - Detection of oil spills: transmission of monitoring reports
  • Software dedicated to the management of geographic information and the cross-referencing of multisource information.
-
Integrated solutions
  • Dedicated information systems (e.g. fisheries information systems)
  • Creation of end-to-end products from the reception of multisensor data to processing, coupling, archiving, technical assistance, training and technology transfer
