Description

For many years, BCF oceanographers have worked with space technology to analyzedata from manned and unmanned spacecraft and have related these data toidentifying fertile areas in the ocean. Satellite sensing could locate schoolsof fish and relay this information to fishing fleets. Also, management andconservation of fishery resources could be improved.
