“Quad” Countries Launch High-Tech Plan to Track Chinese Illegal Fishing

The U.S., Japan, Australia and India, members of the “Quad,” unveiled a new initiative on Tuesday that aims to monitor Chinese illegal fishing in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

The new system will use satellite technology to provide tracking data on Chinese fishing vessels to surveillance centers in Singapore and India. The new technology will allow the U.S. and its partners to monitor Chinese illegal and unreported fishing even when vessels have turned off the transponders that normally track maritime movements.
