GC Deploys Marine Radar in Islas Marías National Marine Park, Nayarit, Mexico

Written By Joshua Asel

In coordination with SEMAR and thanks to the support of Global Conservation and PRONATURE Northwest, remote monitoring technologies called 'Marine Monitors' are being installed in the Islands Maria, which consist of radars, long-range cameras, and AIS devices. With this it is sought to strengthen surveillance actions in the Islas Maria Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These teams were also adapted to a weather station that will allow them to count on weather measurements in real time.
