The Problem:
Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing
4
Illegal fishing takes place where vessels operate in violation of the
laws of a fishery. This can apply to fisheries that are under the
jurisdiction of a coastal state or to high seas fisheries regulated by
regional organizations.
Unreported fishing is fishing that has been unreported or misreported
to the relevant national authority or regional organization, in
contravention of applicable laws and regulations.
Unregulated fishing generally refers to fishing by vessels without
nationality, or vessels flying the flag of a country not party to the
regional organization governing that fishing area or species.
According to a 2008 UN report, titled “The Sunken Billions: The
Economic Justification for Fisheries Reform”, the world's fishing fleets
are losing $50 billion USD each year through depleted stocks and poor
fisheries management.

• Goal:
 Identify vessel behavior
activity using Satellite
Automatic Identification
System (AIS) data
• Challenge:
 Illegal and threatening
behavior covers many different
motions and activities
 Requires advanced and
complex computer learning
 Involves voluminous amount
of data

 Classic “big data” analytics strategy
 Data Acquisition – Satellite AIS Data
 Data Extraction - Raw AIS sensor data is dirty
 Data Analysis using a variety of statistical and machine
learning techniques
 Predictive Analytics involves creating
unique prediction functions
 Objective: Identify motion behavior through
motion analytics

Technical Approach
Identify basic vessel pattern based on economic incentive and
expected activity for the vessel type
One can understand a single vessel’s behavior…
but 125,000 vessels every day?

 Automated model
 Geometric & pattern matching
 Machine learning
 Adjusts over time via weighted algorithms based on data
 Determines which vessels are “troublesome”
(IUU behavior) over five-year period
 Provides intelligence for later interdiction
and/or legal evidence

The following video shows a dynamic visualization of vessels
engaged in fishing activity changing over a one year period
 Tracks of fishing and other vessels are detected with satellite-based AIS
receivers operated by SpaceQuest
 Vessel tracks are classified by Analyze to rate the likelihood that a ship was
actively engaged in fishing activity at each point
 Each detection is highlighted using a visualization technology developed
jointly by Google and SkyTruth
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TOB3X-rw3U
Baseline activity is compared to what is expected and the
differences are highlighted as potential threats for interdiction
and/or legal action

Summary
 Conclusion
 Vessel behaviors can be identified through motion analytics
using satellite AIS data alone
 Lat/Long and time all that is needed (VMS/LRIT/SAR)
 Insights can now be pushed to operations
 Way Ahead
 Display real time results
 Integrate into user-specific platforms
 Flag potential anomalous activity long before it become a threat
 Other Applications
 Created station-keeping algorithms with Mapquest—where
vehicles stop and why
 Profiled insider threat behavior (mouse/keyboard activity) for
Verisign and Zone Fox

Editor's Notes

  • #6: Every message a file Message every 6-8 seconds 24 parameters per message
  • #7: With big data analytics, it’s a team sport Google—searching for use case—to put on Google Ocean Oceana—global non-profit
  • #11: Model—algorithm—prism—find behavior in a range—put geo-fence around where not supposed to go
  • #17: Previous analysis tried to build boolean expressions to identify typical fishing grounds, ships traffic, ports, etc.
