Maritime Domain Intelligence

Fisheries Protection

Knowledge is power. SeaSmart fuses ISR, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, with a world-class data solutions set to detect, track and expose illegal fishing, handing sovereign authorities the picture they need to protect their waters.

The SeaSmart thesis
Knowledge is Power.
ISR + Data Solutions = Positive Outcomes

Observation, understanding, prediction. SeaSmart is the intelligence layer of maritime protection, turning raw ocean data into decision-grade intelligence that authorities can act on.

The threat

Illegal fishing is thieving…

Together with SeaSmart Global you can STOP the stealing.

Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is one of the largest threats to the ocean and to the nations that depend on it. Distant-water fleets operate at the edge of the law, stripping fish stocks, undermining food security, and robbing coastal economies of the resource they own.

The ocean is vast and enforcement is thin. That gap, the space between where the fish are and where a patrol boat can reach, is exactly where illegal fleets hide. SeaSmart closes that gap with intelligence.

The SeaSmart method

Collect. See. Respond.

Three connected capabilities take a fishery from blind spot to full situational awareness, and hand authorities a clean, actionable picture.

01
“Data Cruncher”

AI Data Collection

We mine the world's maritime data and let AI find the signal in the noise, answering the three questions that matter: when, where, and what.

  • Vessel metrics & movement patterns
  • Illegal Maritime Detection (IMD) signals
  • International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) reporting
  • Known IUU fishing-fleet records
02
“Eyes On”

Surveillance

Persistent overwatch from above and below. Satellite imaging over Starlink connectivity and satellite-cued sonar give a live picture of the sea surface and the water column.

  • Satellite imaging (Starlink-connected)
  • Satellite-cued sonar
  • Predictive fleet positioning
  • They cannot hide from SeaSmart surveillance
03
Recon & Defense

Cue the Response

When an illegal foreign fleet enters a protected fishery, SeaSmart is already there. Sensors, drones and crewed vessels fix the target and build a court-ready record, identity, position and activity.

  • Drones & crewed vessels deploy to location
  • Evidence handed to sovereign authorities
  • Authorities interdict & adjudicate
  • Reaches the motherships & factory vessels
The insight

Knowing where the fish are is knowing where the illegal fleets will be.

Predictive intelligence turns the ocean's vastness from their advantage into your advantage, a two-hour advantage. Data mining leads to response.

Our Eyes Open

Force multipliers.

Understanding your fisheries with your eyes open. A layered fleet of autonomous platforms extends our reach across wide areas of open ocean.

Operational

“Jellyfish”

Subsurface drift sensors that listen beneath the surface, detecting vessels and gear where radar and cameras cannot see.

Operational

“Sea Rays”

Autonomous surface craft that patrol and shadow suspect vessels, extending sensor coverage across the fishery.

Operational

“Flying Fish”

Fast-launch aerial drones that confirm and identify contacts from above, adding eyes over the horizon in minutes.

Operational

“Solar”

Green electric options perform ultra-long endurance watch, holding station for weeks with almost no footprint.

The outcome

ISR leads to World Court adjudication.

The action enables SeaSmart's built-to-clean, defensible chain of custody, so the case stands up to scrutiny, even if the vessel is in-water.

The result is simple: illegal operators identified, evidence held to account.

01Detect — AI flags an anomaly in the data.
02Confirm — surveillance puts eyes on the target.
03Fix — drones and vessels record identity and position.
04Hand off — a court-ready package goes to authorities.
05Adjudicate — the sovereign state interdicts and prosecutes.
