We combat IUU Fishing through multiple-set of data.

In layman's terms, we are a group of marine conservationist and environmental watchdog with technology-based approach, mainly by leveraging on Internet of Things (IoT) & BIG DATA matured infrastructures.

They say worst things happen at sea.

We are in the right era, right time and right place to reveal all these dark activities that we strongly believe happening at sea every day and night.

Ironically, we are responsible to measure and quantify them for one good reason; TRANSPARENCY. It's a simple word that easy to say rather than implement or practice by our species since centuries.

Unlike conventional environmental club that doing their best to educate and giving awareness to the targeted parties, we are here to putting up a good pair of bionic eyes and ears to the coastal communities & our stakeholders which are coming from various backgrounds & sectors among educational institute, industrial expertise, technologist, NGOs, activist, law firms as well as authorities.

They are our backbone to blow the whistle and raise the RED FLAG timely and distribute the 'unseen' data to the right parties for their further assessment and action.

This is our small step towards sustainable fisheries. We are fortunate here in Malaysia, as we are already in the phase one of the above pictures.

Clearly, it will also play a vital role for our tourism and shipping economic growth.

This is a game-changer, collectively with the right enforcement and good governance practice that eventually may eliminate them, the 'pirates'. Together with our government support & initiative, we are very much confident that we are in the right path and ready for the next 'underground' battle.
