In their annual “Environmental, Social & Governance Report,” SoundThinking outlined their work with SFB USA in the goal of ending the destructive practice in Malaysia and around the world.

The Integrated Reef Protection System (IRPS) uses the cloud to connect underwater acoustic arrays, the M2 smart radar with high resolution camera and drone, covert hydrophones, real-time hydrophones and sound traps, and boat mounted sensors with the smartphone "Respond App” to displays blast location in minutes for enforcement officials to protect fragile Marine Protected Areas.

Watch our video on the destructive fish bombing practice and how we plan on stopping it.

ShotSpotter has two environmental initiatives which have shown great technical promise – protecting rhinos in Africa from poaching and locating fish bomb blasts in the tropics.

Results are presented of a demonstration of real-time fish blast location in Sabah, Malaysia using a networked hydroacoustic array based on the ShotSpotter gunshot location system.

Sabah will use an American technology called ShotSpotter to combat fish bombing which is a serious issue in the state.

A new groundbreaking technology to detect blast fishing activities in real time is showing promise in efforts to protect Sabah’s marine life.
