In an effort to combat illegal fishing around the world, exactAIS provides immediate identification of non-cooperative IUU vessels in the vicinity of legitimate fishing vessels, allowing for a more targeted response. They also provide data that allows authorities to identify spoofed position reports when comparing a vessel’s reported latitude and longitude, and provide extended surveillance range beyond traditional methods to include areas where vessels are not intended to be fishing.

exactEarth has also partnered with DigitalGlobe to develop a vessel observation and intelligence mapping software that uses AIS and oceanographic data to provide a comprehensive view of both vessel behavior as well as atmospheric and ocean conditions. Their program has infringement zone alerts that will identify when vessels are present in EEZs, marine protected areas, etc.
