New Funding for Bycatch Projects - GeoEye SeaStar Fisheries Information Service Featured in Article

The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) has announced new contributions from three organisations that will support at-sea science projects with the goal of reducing bycatch in tuna fisheries.


The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) donated $100,000 to fund the purchase of new equipment including acoustic tags, tracking equipment, survival tags, GPS sonar buoys, and other high-tech equipment for at-sea research in the Western and Central Pacific region.


Marine Instruments, S.A., a Spanish electronic company specialising in tracking systems for the marine environment and fishing sector, along with American geospatial technology developer, GeoEye, have each donated several M3i buoys, which feature built in echo-sounders that can be used for tracking and monitoring FADs. GeoEye has also donated a subscription to its SeaStar Fisheries Information Service, providing daily oceanographic charts and weather forecasting for ISSF-sponsored research.


"The generous contributions we have received from the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council, Marine Instruments and GeoEye will give research scientists access to equipment that we believe will lead to a new standard of best fishing practices, and ultimately better conservation of our ocean's resources" said ISSF president Susan Jackson...

Maps, Meth and the Lord's Resistance Army - GeoEye Featured in Google Policy by the Numbers Article

Maps have evolved in some pretty amazing ways, from the night sky maps carved onto cave walls in Lascaux, to modern day collaborative maps built by millions of citizen cartographers around the world. Using maps, we can look at how the world around us has changed. We can also use maps to govern more effectively, save lives or just find the cheapest beer.


But what makes maps really exciting isn't what they can tell us about our past or present, but what they could potentially tell us about our future, both good and bad.


A recent Fast Company piece entitled, "Google Maps Help Predict Meth Labs Before They Open" touches on this idea. In his 2009 book, Geography and the Drug Addiction, Dr. Max Lu took three years of data around meth lab seizures and used it to show the likely spread of those meth labs in the future.


Thousands of miles away, predictive analysis was being used by GeoEye to map political conflict and refugees in central Africa. Using the AnthroMapper and Signature Analyst tools, GeoEye's analysts were able to identify the pattern of both the Lord's Resistance Army and related refugee populations.


They then used statistical models to represent the geospatial "signature" of this activity and identified regions where new conflict was more likely to occur in the future. Combining this model with population density statistics helped NGOs, local governments and the military focus their resources...
