DigitalGlobe SeaStar Fisheries Information Service
Save time & fuel
The SeaStar Fisheries Information Service offers clients an easy way to view real-time and forecasted oceanographic and meteorological data maps derived from satellite ocean observation systems. Our services are used successfully by pelagic fishermen to minimize search time and reduce fleet operation costs. SeaStar oceanographic products are processed daily and delivered directly to subscribers at sea for viewing on the ship’s personal computer. Combined with local fishing knowledge, captains use the SeaStar maps to navigate directly to the closest and potentially most productive fishing areas. To maximize the use of the information, DigitalGlobe provides software training and technical support.
