👉 Detecting small vessels at sea remains a major challenge

Limited radar visibility, lack of AIS signals, and harsh conditions make monitoring difficult.

Improving how data is collected and combined is key,
an area explored within #ORBISProject

[ORBIS Project @OrbisProject]

👉 UAVs are transforming maritime surveillance

They enable real-time monitoring, targeted operations & rapid support to SAR, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Within #ORBISProject, UAVs are a key part of integrated, data-driven maritime monitoring solutions.

[ORBIS Project @OrbisProject]

🛰️ Satellite data is key to maritime situational awareness

By combining optical & SAR data, it enables wide-area monitoring, vessel detection, and supports SAR operations .

A core enabler of modern, data-driven maritime monitoring. 🌊 #ORBISProject

🧭 How migrant traffickers operate:

They exploit vulnerability and misinformation, advertising risky journeys as safe . Common practices include overcrowded boats, false promises, and abandonment at sea.

👉Understanding this helps focus on criminals—not the people they exploit

🌊 Rescue at Sea: A Legal Obligation

👉Saving lives at sea is both a legal and a moral duty. International maritime law requires assistance to anyone in distress, regardless of status. This principle is central to lawful and ethical maritime border monitoring under ORBIS.
