Yet those numbers—used to inform everything from government regulations to conservation efforts—are just estimates, Payne notes.is still the most cited paper on the global extent of illegal fishing, he says. “The oceans are cloaked in mystery,” he says. “It’s hard to do anything about illegal fishing because we don’t know the scope of the problem.”
The organization also promises to bring researchers to rarely frequented marine protected areas, giant swaths of ocean that restrict fishing and other activities. “Many developing countries don’t have the resources to patrol their areas, so even their own scientists have trouble getting out to these locations,” Payne says.
Bruce Appelgate echoes those concerns. He leads ship operations at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which operates three major scientific vessels and a collection of smaller coastal research ships. His biggest, the 83-meter, bristles with high-tech scientific instruments, including a deep-water mapping system, gravity meters, and long-range Doppler sonar.
