Abstract :
RADARSAT´s capabilities for detection of fishing vessels have been tested and demonstrated. A centre has been established for routine analysis of RADARSAT images in Norwegian waters. RADARSAT observations are used regularly for optimizing the use of other assets (aircraft, helicopters, ships) in fisheries enforcement operations
