Agenda
Fishery management are policies that aim to
develop and maintain fishing activities in the
long-term. Technology fostered an important
fishery management program in Brazil using
satellites and automated systems. RASTRO is part
of such program.

3
Context

• Since 1999, the offshore fishery industry in
  Brazil has invested in the quest for alternative
  deep-water commercial stocks
• Example red crab and monkfish

4
Context

• First Problem
• Condition national fleet was not prepared to
  explore deep-water resources
• How could the government and the industry develop
  actions to explore such resources?
• Solution
• Permit foreign rented vessels to enter Brazilian
  waters

5
Context

• Second Problem
• How to monitor and control such vessels
  activities, under the penalty of extinguishing
  fishery stocks?
• Solution
• To create Fishery Management Policies aligned
  with a National Program to allow the exploration
  of deep-water commercial stocks

6
Fishery Policies

• National Program
• Agreement between the Government and the
  Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (Univali)
• To develop a low-cost program but still
  considering the lack of human resources and
  adequate infrastructure
• Onboard Observers Policy
• GEP Selection, Training and Monitoring
• Rented Vessels Tracking Policy
• G10 Internet based tracking system
