Often, developing countries\u2019 surveillance efforts become handicapped by the lack of financial resources after the departure of e.g. a big funder, or the termination of a project. We are building a pioneering collaborative initiative that will allow surveillance departments, NGOs and governments to focus their surveillance efforts on high risk vessels, to more effectively sanction those vessels, and therefore increase the efficiency, cost effectiveness and transparency of their monitoring efforts. I-Sea Fisheries, under which spyglass.fish is created, is a project funded by the Paul M.

It also could inform subsidy ban to high risk vessels and their companies. For example, the Senegalese Department of Surveillance having access to information on the past criminal activities of vessels in their waters, sanctioned every vessel for under-reporting vessel capacity, and refused fishing licences to these high risk vessels. Under-reporting of vessel capacity often goes unsanctioned. Cases such as this one are key to explain how cooperation and shared information can dramatically improve a countries\u2019 ability to protect its waters from illegal fishing and other related crimes.
