NEREUS - Space-based Maritime Surveillance System for Fisheries Monitoring
NEREUS is a collaborative project between Surrey Space Centre and Mauritius Research and Innovation Council, developing a space-based system for maritime surveillance to monitor fisheries, detect anomalies, combat illegal activities, and support economic recovery in Mauritius. The project aims to quantify legal and illegal fishing activities, improve government support, restore marine life, and provide innovative solutions for IUU monitoring using advanced satellite data.

NEREUS A space-based Maritime Surveillance System for Fisheries Monitoring and Anomaly Detection Dr. Raffaella Guida Surrey Space Centre r.guida@surrey.ac.uk in collaboration with Mauritius Research and Innovation Council (MRIC)
Partners UK Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey. Republic of Mauritius Mauritius Research and Innovation Council Support expressed by : - Satellite VU - Ecofish - Government of Mauritius - JAXA (Japanese Space Agency) with ALOS-2 datasets available till 2025 - Capella Space for other SAR data (data grant worth $25,000) - Airbus/SSTL/UKSA (UK Space Agency) with UK SAR mission NovaSAR-1 Started conversation with Global Fishing Watch (open to technology co-creation) and SPIRE
Anomalies detection - Nearly automated solution real-time and - Inclusion of the newest and most advanced spaceborne mission data (like high resolution thermal) radar and - Design constellation providing data with the requirements persistent monitoring of areas at risk of satellite minimum for a Density map for frequently unassigned SAR ship detections in the English Channel, UK. The search radius chosen was 10 km, and the mean is 1 unassigned detection per 0.01 km2.
In Mauritius Outcome 2 - Improve the support to the local government in stopping IUU activities in the EEZ. Outcome 1 - Quantify the extent of legal and IUU fishing in the Mauritius EEZ and MPAs and evaluate its economic impact. EVALUATE SUPPORT RESTORE RECOVER Outcome 4 - Understand and support the economic recovery from fishery practices in Mauritius. Outcome 3 - Support the restoration of marine life and fish stocks in the Mauritius EEZ.
Outputs The project will have 22 outputs which, in summary, will contribute towards: - The prototypal satellite-based tool for IUU monitoring - Building a capacity programme on interpretation of satellite data, higher level products, IUU monitoring tool - A stakeholder workshop to engage all relevant players and collect end- users requirements. - Reports and publications ranging from an analysis of the current IUU situation to a strategy to combat IUU and economically recover.
