Rabat 's ATLAN Space is developing artificial intelligence (AI) for drones to combat illegal fishing. In 35 , the company won Marine Protection Prize $ 150,000 ATLAN Space to launch a pilot scheme to combat illegal fishing in the Seychelles . If it concludes that the activity is illegal, the drone will register the boat's location, identification number, and number of people on board and relay this information to authorities via satellite. The drones will be used to fly over illegal fishing areas and when they detect a boat, their AI technology will verify the kind of vessel, whether its operating inside a marine-protected area and if it is authorised. If a drone deems the activity illegal, it registers the boat's location and ID number and it to authorities via satellite.
