Satellite monitoring of the world's oceans is being restricted by legal barriers, study suggests
Satellite technology can increasingly track vessels across the world's oceans and has the ability to detect industrial fishing inside marine protected areas (MPAs). But new research has suggested that regulations governing these often vulnerable parts of our planet could be preventing global authorities from turning satellite detection into effective enforcement.
