The Philippines and Canada have signed an agreement that will allow Ottawa to help Manila monitor its coastal waters and the high seas using a Canadian satellite surveillance program, the Department of Foreign Affairs said on Monday. Canada’s Dark Vessel program uses satellite technology to locate and track ships illegally fishing anywhere even if they switch off their location transmitting devices to evade monitoring and surveillance.
” In an interview with GMA News Online in Manila last May, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said Canada is committed to help the Philippines defend its sovereign rights in the South China Sea and fight illegal fishing by providing satellite surveillance and other scientific data as part of its efforts to boost its presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
