Abstract
Combining several satellite-based tracking technologies with big data methods and machine learning, fisheries experts can now efficiently monitor the entirety of the oceans and ensure that legal limits and protected areas are respected. Observing our planet from space is also proving a fruitful approach in other areas of conservation, ecology and climate research. Michael Gross reports.
