OBS

Fisheries and Oceans Canada has launched a new program in collaboration with the Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development Canada's Centre for Security Science, Global Affairs Canada, and MDA [MDA Space, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates] to detect vessels engaging in IUU [illegal, unreported, and unregulated] fishing, also known as "dark vessels." The $7 million Dark Vessel Detection Program uses satellite technology to locate and track vessels whose location transmitting devices have been switched off, sometimes in an attempt to evade monitoring, control and surveillance.

OBS

The program will provide state-of-the-art satellite data and analysis to small island nations and coastal states around the world where IUU [[illegal, unreported, and unregulated] fishing has a major impact on local economies, food security and the health of fish stocks.

OBS

Pêches et Océans Canada a lancé un nouveau programme en collaboration avec le ministère de la Défense nationale, le Centre des sciences pour la sécurité de Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada, Affaires mondiales Canada, et la société MDA [MacDonald Dettwiler et Associates], pour détecter les navires qui se livrent à la pêche INN [illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée]. Le Programme de détection des navires sombres, d'une valeur de 7 millions de dollars, utilise la technologie satellitaire pour localiser et suivre les navires dont les dispositifs de transmission de leur localisation ont été éteints, parfois dans le but d'échapper au suivi, au contrôle, et à la surveillance.

OBS

Le Programme fournira des données satellitaires et des analyses à la fine pointe de la technologie aux petits États insulaires et aux États côtiers du monde entier où la pêche INN [illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée] a des répercussions majeures sur les économies locales, la sécurité alimentaire, et la santé des stocks de poissons.
