Illegal fishing is difficult to enforce on the Ocean. The key to enforcing illegal activity on the water is monitoring. Using a boat and/or a plane can be costly and does not cover enough space to monitor effectively, which is the reason why satellites have become a great option for enforcement agencies to help in monitoring illegal activities.  Listen to the episode to find out how a company is about to release 36 satellites into space to help monitor illegal fishing. Do you think using satellites to monitor illegal fishing will be the wave of the future? Share your thoughts in the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group.
