Casting the net

In a pioneering piece of international policing, every trawler operating in
the world’s only remaining large cod fishery off Scandinavia will be monitored
by satellite to help curb overfishing. In the next two years the London-based
Northeast Atlantic Fisheries Commission, which controls the fishery, will start
monitoring the position of fishing boats and the time they spend in the area.
Countries within the European Union are due to set up a similar, separate system
to track boats in their waters by the end of the year.
