collaborative and non-collaborative tools. The main difference is that collaborative tools rely
on the willingness of the vessel’s captain to participate in the system. For example, a captain can switch off their VMS or AIS devices, though they risk a penalty. Non-collaborative MCS tools rely on solutions like satellite imagery, where captains are not in control of reporting the time and place of fishing activities, as this is observed by satellites.
The main collaborative tools are VMS and AIS, which were first built on existing satellite and radio frequency technologies and electronic recording and reporting systems commonly referred to as E-Logbooks, in order to distinguish them from paper-based logbooks. 4
a. Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) VMS was originally a satellite-based system that provided data on the time-stamped location, course and speed of vessels to fisheries authorities at regular intervals (every two hours or 12 times per day). 5
using satellites. In 1978, the members of the International Maritime Organization (IMO)
3 As defined by [FAO 1981]: “Monitoring refers to the collection, measurement and analysis of fishing activity including, but not limited to, catch, species composition, fishing effort, bycatch, discards and area of operation. Control involves the specification of the terms and conditions under which resources can be harvested. Surveillance involves the regulation and supervision of fishing activity to ensure that national legislation and terms, conditions of access and management measures are observed.” 4 Operators of commercial fishing vessel and some recreational charter fishing vessel maintain on board the vessel an accurate and complete record of catch, effort, and other data on a form, called a logbook.
