Welcome to SAFARI

The SAFARI Project was launched in November 2007 after receiving funding from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). SAFARI falls under GEO's task AG-06-02, which calls for consultation at the international level to identify opportunities for enhanced utilization of Earth observation data in fisheries and aquaculture.

SAFARI aims to accelerate the assimilation of Earth Observation (EO) into fisheries research and ecosystem-based fisheries management on a global scale. This will be accomplished by facilitating the application of rapidly evolving satellite technology to fisheries management questions.
