European Remote Electronic Monitoring (REM) programmes have offered numerous best practices to the technical and political challenges faced by EU fisheries as they strive to meet sustainability objectives.

The EU Fisheries Control Coalition has identified and created a map that allows you to see how REM works at a glance.
It also provides links to reports that discuss these best practices and how they address particular practical, financial and ethical concerns in the application of REM technologies. Clicking on a specific country within the map will reveal a list of links to documents relevant to each country.
