Abstract
Marine environment is one of the natural ecosystem which is been affected by the unscrupulous human activities. Lots of efforts are taken to preserve and maintain the balance of the aquatic resources by responsible bodies. European Union convention on the law of the sea has a great impact on avoiding the IUU fishing activities of the countries with large scaled fisheries industry. Fishing grounds should be harvested with caution otherwise whole could be endanger in extinction while harvesting the whole school of fish. There the fishermen are responsible for releasing under-weight fishes and the other fish types which are prohibited to be caught.
 With the technology all the manual works has been eased and heightened in accuracy wise. Albeit the advantages are there, the main drawback is that they are being expensive. Localizing those products and requirement adding has been the major gap which has limited those commercial products being popularized in the countries with native languages. In this paper we have discussed a novel approach for fishing vessel tracking and catch reporting which minimizes above drawbacks.
Highlights
Marine industry is one of the major contributors to the world economy
In November, 2012 EU issued yellow cards to eight states due to their inability to combat against IUU fishing where the main weaknesses include shortcomings of an adequate and efficient vessel monitoring system, lack of deterrent sanctions for the high seas fleet, as well as lacking compliance with international and regional fisheries rules
Based on the identified issues we have revealed the possibility of applying fishing vessel monitoring and catch reporting scheme based on the GPS location of the vessels
Summary
Marine industry is one of the major contributors to the world economy. Billions of jobs are directly depend on the marine industry. In November, 2012 EU issued yellow cards to eight states due to their inability to combat against IUU fishing where the main weaknesses include shortcomings of an adequate and efficient vessel monitoring system, lack of deterrent sanctions for the high seas fleet, as well as lacking compliance with international and regional fisheries rules. This incident can be considered as one of the most recent active incident which EU taken responsibility to act against IUU (European Commision, 2015). The modified version which includes features such as well-managed vessel monitoring system, which will reduce the illegal activities and rule violations, generate/maintain catch report and a fleet informer would be applying as vessel monitoring and catch reporting solution
