This project aims to support Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru in their efforts to protect their unique marine biodiversity, coastal communities, and local communities, specifically women, Indigenous Peoples, and Afro-descendants. It does so through innovative Canadian satellite technology to support monitoring and enforcement efforts in reducing the threats posed by illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing activities, such as overfishing.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased adoption of monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) technologies, including improved maritime domain awareness, by maritime authorities to protect marine biodiversity from anthropogenic threats; and (2) improved collaboration amongst maritime authorities to detect, identify, and deter human threats posed to marine biodiversity.
