Monitoring suspicious activity
It is important that the Scottish fishing community have clear guidance on how to report suspicious activity and that Marine Scotland maintain pathways for the recovery of stolen goods. We provide this by:
- seizing stolen fishing gear on behalf of Scottish Government Ministers
- providing importers, exporters and fishermen with up-to-date information on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing
- deal with reports of suspicious activity
- monitoring through the use of Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS)
