Liquid Robotics to Help Fight Illegal Fishing

Liquid Robotics said it will provide support for the U.S. State Department’s third annual Fishackathon 2016, an event bringing together volunteer coders, technologists and scientists around the globe to help create new applications and tools to thwart the global epidemic of illegal and unregulated fishing.

In support of this event, Liquid Robotics will provide historical and real-time ocean data collected by the Wave Glider, an unmanned surface vehicle. The Wave Glider collects and communicates ocean data without the need for fuel. Wave Gliders perform long-duration missions that fundamentally change ocean research and monitoring, including patrolling vast marine sanctuaries for illegal fishing.
