Using technology to save our oceans
With the launch of a new web-tool, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), TRAFFIC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) are teaming up to fight one of the greatest threats to our oceans: illegal fishing.
DETECT-IT, a new data analytics tool created by the organizations, is intended to help customs and law enforcement officials, businesses and the like quickly search through fish trade data to identify potential illegally caught and traded fish products around the world. The tool identifies discrepancies in reported trade, in both farmed and wild-caught products, between countries and raises red flags that laundering or illegal trade may be occurring.
โIllegal fishing is hugely destructive to ocean ecosystems, communities and economies,โ said Michele Kuruc, WWFโs vice president of ocean policy. โDETECT-IT is a new weapon in the global fight against the criminals pillaging our seas for their own personal gain.โ
Previously, trade data had to be evaluated manually and the process to search for discrepancies was slow and laborious. DETECT-IT significantly speeds up that process, allowing millions of trade records to be searched in mere seconds.
โDETECT-IT demonstrates the unique potential of technology to solve some of the worldโs most complex environmental challenges,โ said Christopher Wellise, Chief Sustainability Officer at HPE. โWeโre proud to partner with WWF to accelerate a digital solution that will protect our oceans and the livelihoods of millions of people around the world.โ
Global estimates suggest that more than 30 percent of all fish caught globally is illegal and causes up to $36.4 billion in global losses each year. Illegal fishing contributes to ecosystem destruction, overfishing, threatens food security and has been linked to human rights violations.
โWeโre starting with illegal fish, but thatโs not where we plan to stop,โ said Kuruc. โAs DETECT-IT is tested and refined, this technology can be used to crack down on other highly-trafficked natural resources, including timber and wildlife.โ
DETECT-IT was developed by HPE as part of the Living Progress Challenge with support from coders at Topcoder and DXC Technology.
