Quad To Establish Satellite-Based Marine Security System In Indo-Pacific To Tackle China's Illicit Fishing

The Quadrilateral Security Alliance (Quad) intends to launch a marine security program based on satellites. The launch is designed to put a halt to China's suspected illicit fishing since the communist country is accused of being responsible for 95% of illegal fishing in the Indo-Pacific. Even when fishing vessels' transponders are switched off, the technology will enable the Quad nations to maintain a watch on China and monitor illegal fishing.
