Use of VIIRS boat detection data in identifying illegal commercial fishing in restricted municipal waters in the Philippines Christopher D.

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) primary mission is weather prediction.

Low light imaging data are collected at night to enable detection of moonlit clouds. Electric lighting is also detected. Manila, March 23, 2016

Mindoro Strait March 23, 2016 High moon DNB data. Mindoro Island Boats Busuanga Island Flare Boats Boats

Algorithms run on images, output points, vast data volume reduction VIIRS day/night band (DNB) nighttime image data Boat detection data (points) 300 GB 3-5 MB

Three temporal aggregations with open data access Nightly Monthly Annual

Nightly global data with product release target of four hour from observation

Use Cases in the Philippines Commercial fishing is banned in: Four BFAR seasonal closures. 814 local government unit (LGU) municipal waters which extend 15 km from shore.

In the Philippines, purse seiner and ring net capture boats work with specialized light boats carrying strings of bare metal halide bulbs 100,000 Watts Bare bulbs

Small scale fishing boats are too dim for VIIRS detection 168 watts Shielded

The alerts are being used by Philippines BFAR to plan enforcement patrols for commercial fishing boats operating illegally in municipal waters. BFAR Region 6 reported more than 20 apprehensions credited to VIIRS in 2018.

Summary VIIRS detects boats using lights at night. The product is global every night with a nominal temporal latency of four hours. File sizes are modest, readily downloaded, open access. Alerts can be sent for individual zones of interest, such as MPAs. Federal, provincial, and local government units in the Philippines use the alerts to plan and conduct enforcement actions for illegal commercial fishing boats. In Asia, VIIRS detects vastly more numbers of vessels than AIS or VMS. By a factor of nine in Indonesia. Temporal records extend back to 2012, making it possible to monitor trends, outline fishing grounds, and assess the effectiveness of enforcement and management efforts.
