It would not be fantastic to acquirea cut of our favorite fish, knowing
that it has been caught on thehigh seas and taken to our trusted fishery
in a sustainable manner, with thecomplete certainty that no marine ecosystem has been
damaged or over- exploited. Andit wouldn' t be amazing for a
humble fishing boat skipper to be ableto locate the perfect fish bank hours in

(01:19):
can be quite sure of the origin, date of production, quality and
mode of preservation of any food thatwe put or is not served on the
table. This includes, of course, fish. All the ports or auctions
of the old continent have sufficient measuresto ensure the quality of the products of
(01:41):
the sea. Yes, possibly Europeis not doing very well. In many
other areas immigration, economy contrasts NorthSouth, but the common market, with
its more and less, works quitewell. However, like everything else,
a technological project of Spanish origin andsupported by the European Space Agency will soon
increase the above- mentioned safety regardingfish. It all began in two thousand
(02:14):
sixteen, when the founder of HerrarSpace, the Alicantean ISAAC Dura, won
the artic award given by ESA tothe best ideas related to the use of
European space technology, focused not onthe cosmos, but on the care,
the vigilance and a better understanding ofour own home earth. From that moment
on, Dura' s mission hasbeen to make Hera Space a reality,
(02:36):
with the help of ESA, whichhas hosted the project in its Business incubator
Center and is getting it together.It attracts the attention of the parties involved,
from the fishing sector to the hotelier, passing by world experts in cryptography,
But what is the objective of HeraSpace to develop a fleet of fleets
(03:00):
steals 100% an optimized fishing activity, coordinated, traceable, transparent and,
moreover, simple and accessible, sothat any shipowner, any pattern, from
the richest to the humblest, canbenefit from the advantages of the technology in
its activity. As the hard oneEra Space has declared, it will help
(03:20):
fishermen locate the fish bank closest totheir coordinates and whose fishing is legal and
sustainable. Information that, on theeconomic side, will result in cost savings
for professionals in the sector in timeand fuel, for example, and that,
on the environmental side, will preventnets being thrown into areas where there
is conflict with vulnerable species such asturtles and dolphins, or where fish are
(03:44):
not of adequate size. Era Spacemakes use of the latest in ESA environmental
satellites. This agency has the Copernicusprogram dedicated to sending satellites to space to
direct their gaze toward the earth.Copernicus is undoubtedly the most ambitious observation project
(04:05):
on our planet to date and isaimed not only at long- term tasks,
such as the quantification of climate change, but also at more immediate functions,
such as the management of emergencies,fires, floods and security related to
the same warnings of storms, tsunamialerts. In addition, Copernicus gestina and
(04:28):
receives meteorological information from ground measuring instrumentsto complete and at the end received from
satellites. Apart from the Copernicus programme, there is also EUMETHSAT, the European
Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. This is not so intimately linked to
(04:49):
the European Union, but many ofits member countries are part of it.
Spain is one of them. EUMETHSADis responsible for day- to- day
management of constellations of observation satellites suchas the Pernical Neumezsatic Jason. They coordinate
to provide third parties with valuable physical, oceanographic and climate information needed for numerous
(05:13):
functions, from making simple meteorological partsto integrating into applications with more economic impact,
such as Hera Space' s proposalfor the fisheries sector. These devices
are able to report data of scientificand environmental interest, such as the color
of the ocean and its shape heightdifferences between different points. However, if
(05:38):
they are properly used, we canalso deduce from them the potential presence of
a particular fishing mass. In fact, this is something that has already been
done since the beginnings of the so- called operational oceanography, but with an
important handicap the absence of real time. What does this mean, because as
quickly as the network of sensics themida sends data to the ground and these
(06:01):
are filtered and professed by the expertsof copernicus, this process will never be
fast enough so that a humble tunamancan approach in time to ensure a good
capture, it is necessary to predictthe results of such a raid in advance
with the least possible margin of error. How to achieve it by artificial intelligence
(06:30):
or everything was. Space is workingon the implementation of novel machine learning algorithms
or MSHINDS Learning, which for thefirst time will provide intelligence to satellites monitoring
the sea. Let' s startwith the basics. If satellites are only
able to detect color, altitude,and other physical parameters from space, how
they discover the position of fish banksfrom space. Before answering that question,
(06:57):
you knew that more than half ofthe lons or breathes have been produced by
the oceans. The answer has todo with the fact that sea water is
not simply blue. They have manydifferent shades within that color. This is
due to the concentration of certain elementsin water, of which the most important
are microplants, also known as phytoplankton. Like the plants on our terrace,
(07:29):
these microscopic beings take carbon dioxide andtransform it into food, generating oxygen,
as otherwise said, oxygen in theocean. In addition to being the basis
of the aquatic food chain. Theconcentrations of these algae can be monitored from
space thanks to OLC, an instrumentfor measuring the color of the earth and
(07:53):
the oceans, which is on boardthe Sentinel satellite three operational since February of
two thousand ons sixteen. This instrumentprobes the surface of the earth into twenty
- one bands of the electromagnetic spectrumand obtains the reflections corresponding to each of
them. From these returned flashes canbe deduced the type and quantity of Fitoplacton
(08:13):
present and, therefore, the amountof life in a particular area of the
sea. Since April of two thousandeighteen, the Sentinel three A is not
just a new companion, the Sentinelthree B. This new ESA ingenuity has
two olc systems that provide even greaterresolution to your partner' s measurements.
(08:41):
Likewise, we can topography the oceanincluded at its height with amazing precision.
You knew the average sea level isrising about three millimeters a year. That
kind of precision. We' retalking about measuring the height of the ocean.
The Sentinel send an electromagnetic pulse thatreturns to the detectors with some delay.
(09:01):
Knowing this delay, it is possibleto calculate the water level at specific
coordinates and on a specific day.Thanks to the Sentinel, we already have
about twenty- five years of dataon sea level and what Copernicus ESA and
(09:22):
Eumet Seat scientists have found is thatthe rise in the average level is accelerating.
This is an unequivocal indication of theclimate change that we are suffering from.
The marine relief has a direct impacton the temporal space form of ocean
currents and isolated bodies of water andtherefore on the displacement and position of possible
fish stocks. We are also ableto get an idea of the temperature of
(09:54):
a particular mass of water, withouthaving to dip a thermometer in it.
We know, for example, thattwo thousand seventeen was the second warmest year
of the historical series, and thisdata we know thanks in part to the
instrument STRT temperature radiometer of the seaand earth surface that orbits our planet on
board the sen It has three a. This instrument, like other distance thermometers,
(10:18):
makes use of Wien' s well- known law of displacement, which
says that there is a simple relationshipof proportionality between the temperature of an object
and the maximum wavelength of the radiationemitted by any hot object, including the
sea, even if it is coolat some times of the year. It
(10:41):
emits radiation at different frequencies or wavelengths. If we find the maximum wavelength,
we have its temperature and this isdecisive for estimating the absence of a certain
type of fishing. For example,Atlantic cod descends deeper waters beyond the reach
of any net hook. It doesincrease the surface temperature. The above-
(11:07):
mentioned climate saténites can also find outthe meaning and magnitude of the currents and
the surface wind speed, data thatare of great relevance for the algorithms of
the hera space to be able todrive each fishing boat to the right place
before the fish have even arrived there. Another facet of the fishing industry in
(11:33):
which technology can help is transparency.Who assures us that indeed certain fishing was
acquired in such a caladero, sucha day at such an hour. If
the master or shipowner of a fishingvessel has direct and exclusive access to the
logbook, what prevents them from alteringthe will to pass one genus for another,
one emperor for a mere, forexample, or one date of extraction
(11:56):
for another. Previous. Thanks totechnology they talk or chain blocks. We
can avoid all this. It isa distributed database in which each person involved
has a piece of it. Noone owns the total. How it happens
in the vast majority of databases thatare centralized. Thus, the captain'
s diary no longer belongs only tothe captain. It is of all the
(12:20):
actors involved, other ships, othercaptains, fishermen responsible for auction, intermediaries
and even restaurants. If anyone,even if they were well- intentioned,
to alter any record of the fishingprocess, everyone would know. Era Space
(12:46):
also aims to enable the blog Chainealong the production chain, from the first
to the last link. When afish is caught, it is stored in
an incompatible blogche freezer. As partof the entry log, the uncle,
size, no fish, date andgeographical position are stored. This information is
immediately shared in a segmented manner withother boats, auctions, markets, cooks.
(13:11):
They are all pieces of the equationand all form at the same time
a fundamental part of the solution.This is the first time that the blog
Chaine has gone beyond its use inthe manufacture of cryptocurrencies and demonstrates its usefulness
in a real, palpable and evenedible commercial activity. On the other hand,
(13:35):
illegal fishing is one of the majorproblems threatening the health of the oceans.
One in five fish is caught outsidethe law and this illegal activity has
an economic impact of more than 20zero million euros per year. In addition
to worsening overfishing problems in critical marineecosystems, the systems currently used to combat
(13:56):
illegal fishing involving vessels, skippers andsurveillance aircraft are very costly and the area
covered is too large to be effective. Once again, satellite technology can find
the solution to the problem. Theproject is The developed by the NGO Peewkery

create a state- of- the- art technology platform that combines satellite monitoring
and image data with other types ofinformation, such as fishing vessel databases and
oceanographic data, to help authorities detectsuspicious fishing activities. This system will be
(14:43):
able to synthesize and analyze multiple layersof data almost in real time to track
and identify suspicious mouths around the worldand automatically, alert authorities to investigate and
take appropriate action. There' ssix of them. It is being designed
to become a cost- effective compliancemonitoring and control tool for governments and agencies
