Abstract

The National Invasive Species Council (NISC) was established by Executive Order (EO) 13112 to ensure that Federal programs and activities to prevent and control invasive species are coordinated, effective and efficient.

Automatic Identification System (AIS) and the Monitoring of Marine Protected Areas and Exclusive Economic Zones

Vast areas of the ocean (millions of km²) have been designated as Marine Protected Areas (MPA), marine reserves, shark sanctuaries and other conservation categories.  Even in the absence of conservation categories overlying a nation’s 200-mile offshore exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the EEZ itself must be monitored for compliance.  Monitoring conservation areas and EEZs for legal and illegal uses such as fishing and mining is a challenge.
