Webinar: Exploring effective enforcement practices and technology in priority marine areas
Date/Time: Wednesday, April 2, 2025 12:00 PM EST
Presented by: Bob Farrell, WildAid
Description: Enforcement is a critical, but often overlooked, component of properly managing priority marine areas. The cost of enforcement can also be of concern. We will discuss WildAid’s “BLUEPRINT for Marine Protection™” a highly effective tool designed to evaluate and focus capacity building effort for enforcement. We will also discuss the use of various technologies to enhance enforcement and mitigate cost. We will discuss the use of Skylight and Global Fishing Watch as potential sources of intelligence that are free to most users. We will also discuss our partnership with Open Ocean Robotics and the use of their on-water technology to support enforcement.
