Wow.
So yeah, this is an industry that the electronic monitoring industry exists for a long time.
But the problem is that the review cycles for the videos takes like several months.
So you ship a hard drive and then three months later, yeah, you have overfished here.
And clearly you cannot act rapidly with that.
So we are shortening the cycles and making sure that this ship can report independent metrics in real time.
Is that a worldwide issue?
That's a worldwide issue for sure.
I was reading the other day that even in the, that is like putting selective pressure on some species.
So the fish are actually shrinking due to the overfishing.
So imagine that these smaller individuals, they can kind of escape the nets.
So that makes the species overall through the years smaller.
And that also, of course, causes problems for conservation.
We have done that too.
There's an organization called Lion Guardians.
And basically, the issue is conservation is in Africa.
They need to understand where the lions roam to be able to protect those lands and to prevent human development in there.
