Demonstration of Satellites enabling the Insertion of RPAS in Europe

Integrated Satellite Services for Fishing Support and Safety

FISHSAT is conceived as a system of systems employing space assets (Earth Observation, Satellite Navigation and Satellite Communication) to improve collaboration between markets, fisheries and enforcement authorities. The intended benefit of FISHSAT is to increase the efficiency of fishing activities, match better the market demand, improve catch traceability and strengthen enforcement. The study addresses the needs of two main stakeholders: Fisheries and Sea Authorities (enforcement).

Integrated Fisheries Information System for the North Sea

I-fish North Sea aims to provide an integrated information and communications system that will utilise a combination of satellite communications and satellite navigation to enable unified timely and accurate collection, management, and use of marine fisheries data to provide value added services to fisheries stakeholders for improved sustainability of our fast depleting fisheries resources.

Coastal Surveillance and Water Quality Monitoring in the Baltic Sea

Based on EO, SatNav and SatCom data, the BALMON project aims to provide an extensive, well-justified assessment of technologies, services and development needs that will support and enhance the efficiency of water quality monitoring and coastal surveillance activities in the Baltic Sea region. The Target Users are organisations such as water companies, sewage companies, dredging companies, port authorities, fish farms and offshore construction companies from countries in the Baltic Sea Region.

Satellite Monitoring of ship emissions in the Baltic Sea

In 2018, maritime transport accounted for 2.89% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The ESA-coordinated SAMBA project combines AIS/GPS maritime emissions with remote sensing-based atmospheric pollution data to develop a maritime emission compliance monitoring service.

Special Meteorological Services for Maritime Search and Rescue

The CAESAR feasibility study, finished in March 2014, focused on a service based on EO, SatNav and Satcom data able to provide detailed and timely information on the weather and marine conditions to the maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) coordination centres, with the aim of reducing the risks and improving the efficiency of SAR operations.
