Anti-trawling Bollards
RESULTS
Monitoring Satellite Control System for the location of fishing
vessels (blue box)
Reduction of more than 80% of the violations in just 5 years

revocation of permits and presence of personnel at sea) and the
local Coastguard (sanctions, patrolling, tracking of commercial
ships with Automatic Identification System)
