Abstract
The paper documents the the application of the services of International Maritime Satellite Organization (Inmarsat) to responsible fisheries. Currently known as International Mobile Satellite Organization, offers an increasing array of telecommunication services to business travelers, landmobile, aeronautical, and maritime users, etc. For the maritime industry Inmarsat provides satellite vessel monitoring.
