Safeguarding the Seas Through Increased Transparency
Illegal, Unregulated, Unreported Fishing (IUUF)
Environmental Degradation
Smuggling, Trafficking, and Piracy
Problem
The ocean's vastness makes monitoring difficult
Existing technologies are inadequate, leaving significant gaps in maritime domain awareness
Poor traceability and documentation enable unsustainable fishing practices, especially in developing coastal nations.

SeaWatch is a mobile app that crowdsources reports from mariners at sea
SeaWatch is a mobile app that crowdsources maritime reports, illuminating suspicious activities and enabling successful interdictions
Reliable catch data from SeaWatch enhances seafood traceability
We provide actionable, timely insights to maritime authorities to aid in efficient interdiction efforts
How our approach is different
We leverage existing human networks instead of relying on costly and often ineffective space-based MDA technologies
Economic incentives empower artisanal fisherfolk
Our solution is low-overhead, scalable, and sustainable
We deploy Starlink and mesh network radios to ensure connectivity at sea
