Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.
