Overview
The monitoring of the seasonal and spatial variability of fishing grounds and support to the implementation of the international regulations (e.g. vessel monitoring) are the key elements of this application.

![]() Copernicus Sentinel-3 offers safer navigation at sea11 January 2018Wave information is crucial for people working at sea, to be able to navigate and operate safely. A new product based on satellite altimeter data detailing ‘Significant Wave Height' now enables this. ![]() ESA helps faster cleaner shipping13 April 2017With around 90% of world trade carried by ships, making sure a vessel follows the fastest route has clear economic benefits. By merging measurements from different satellites, ESA is providing key information on ocean currents, which is not only making shipping more efficient but is also helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Sun glitter reveals coastal waves19 May 2016Sentinel-2A is demonstrating how it can be used to help forecast ocean waves around our coasts: sunlight reflected from the water surface reveals complex waves as they encounter the coastline and seafloor off the tip of Dorre Island, Western Australia. Canada breaks the ice with Sentinel-1 data21 December 2015How can access to Sentinel data increase Canada's ability to offer improved information on sea ice? Satellites guide sailor from treacherous waters19 December 2014While sailing south of Africa on an around-the-world voyage, Matteo Miceli was suddenly alerted to a massive iceberg in his path. Almost 4 km long, the iceberg drifting near the Prince Edward Islands was detected and tracked by European satellites. CryoSat extends its reach on the Arctic15 December 2014CryoSat has delivered this year's map of autumn sea-ice thickness in the Arctic, revealing a small decrease in ice volume. In a new phase for ESA's ice mission, the measurements can now also be used to help vessels navigate through the north coastal waters of Alaska, for example. Copernicus Sentinel-1: Making our seas safer22 October 2014Within the first days of its operational life, the Sentinel-1A satellite has provided data for marine services in the Arctic. Versatility extends life of water mission18 July 2014SMOS is not only delivering key information on soil moisture and ocean salinity for science, but its data are also being used for a growing number of practical applications. Reflecting this versatility along with new synergistic opportunities, the mission will now remain operational until at least 2017. ![]() Boosting marine traffic monitoring via satellite15 July 2014ESA will improve the identification and tracking of seafaring vessels anywhere on Earth from 2018 under a public–private partnership with LuxSpace of Luxembourg and exactEarth of Canada, signed today at the UK’s premier airshow. Space up your app with satellite data05 June 2014Calling all app developers: register today for the opportunity to spend a week at ESA developing new ideas and concepts for mobile apps using satellite Earth observation data. |
