Eyes in the Deep

A proactive approach to combat illegal fishing

Illegal fishing impacts fair trade, the environment, and human trafficking. PierSight's innovative maritime intelligence platform, powered by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology, offers measurable impact in the fight against IUU fishing and safeguarding our oceans and marine life.

Case Study

How Tanzania’s EEZ is being exploited

Tanzania has an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of over 45 million football fields. Without its own industrial fishing fleet, Tanzania relies on the $1.3 million generated from foreign vessels. With the considerable challenges of policing the large area of the EEZ, Tanzania loses millions of dollars a year to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Who is this impacting

Fishing industries

Overfishing causes legit fishing businesses lose over $10m to illegal competition, endangering livelihoods of thousands of fishermen.

Marine ecosystem

Many endangered species are caught and sold. Harming the balance in the sea & jeopardizing the sustainability of fisheries.

Governments

Face substantial financial losses and security threats (trafficking, illegal weapons) & struggle to regulate their vast EEZs effectively
