Managing and protecting marine ecosystems

The oceans’ fish stocks are dwindling at an alarming rate. The future of our fisheries therefore depends to a large extent on our ability to preserve them effectively. The Argos system is a vital tool for tracking and preventing illegal fishing and for better monitoring vast zones of the oceans that would otherwise escape scrutiny. As a result, most coastal nations now mandate fishing vessels operating within their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) to be equipped with a satellite-based vessel monitoring system (VMS). Argos provides a turnkey solution, ArgoNet, which meets the requirement for monitoring fishing vessels and their catches. Argos has been certified by most of the leading seaboard nations around the world and is already operating on thousands of vessels worldwide.
