Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS)

Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) are advanced technologies used to track and monitor fishing boats in real time. By using satellite or other communication systems, VMS helps authorities ensure that vessels comply with fishing regulations, such as staying within designated areas and adhering to catch limits. This system enhances sustainable fishing practices, protects marine resources, and prevents illegal fishing activities. It provides data on a vessel's location, speed, and activity, allowing for better management of fisheries and conservation efforts while promoting responsible use of ocean resources.
