 a major contributor to illegal1        
unreported1 and unregulated fishing 7in 
this section referred to as ,,iuu       
fishing7 activities2  7#c7 the          
sustainability of ,oceania's fisheries  
is threatened by ,,iuu fishing1 which   
depletes both commercially important    
fish stocks and non-targeted species    
that help maintain the integrity of the 
ocean ecosystem2  7#d7 ,,iuu fishing    
puts pressure on protected species of   
marine mammals1 sea turtles1 and sea    
birds1 which also jeopardizes the       
integrity of the ocean ecosystem2  7#e7 
because ,,iuu fishing goes unrecorded1  
the loss of biomass compromises the work
 of scientists to assess and model      
fishery stocks and advise managers on   
sustainable catch levels2  7#f7 beyond  
the damage to living marine resources1  
,,iuu fishing also contributes directly 

to illegal activity in the ,oceania     
region1 such as food fraud1 smuggling1  
and human trafficking2  7#g7 current    
approaches to ,,iuu fishing enforcement 
rely on established methods1 such as    
vessel monitoring systems1 logbooks     
maintained by government fisheries      
enforcement authorities to record the   
catches landed by fishing vessels1 and  
corroborating data on catches           
hand-collected by human observer        
programs2  7#h7 such established methods
 are imperfect because--  7,a7 vessels  
can turn off monitoring systems and     
unlicensed vessels do not use them2 and 
7,b7 observer coverage is thin and      
subject to human error and corruption2  
7#i7 maritime domain awareness          
technology solutions for vessel         
monitoring have gained credibility in   
recent years and include systems such as
 observing instruments deployed on      
satellites1 crewed and uncrewed air and 
surface systems1 aircraft1 and surface  
vessels1 as well as electronic          

monitoring systems on fishing vessels2  
7#aj7 maritime domain awareness         
technologies hold the promise of        
significantly augmenting the current    
,,iuu fishing enforcement capacities2   
and  7#aa7 maritime domain awareness    
technologies offer an avenue for
