Abstract: As human populations have more than doubled since 1960, pressure on wild fish stocks has increased dramatically. This Article argues that the establishment of an electronic reporting and monitoring regime in U.S. fisheries is both necessary to ensure compliance with statutory imperatives to manage them according to best available science, and essential for continued long-term viability of the U.S. fishing industry. While privacy issues pose some challenge to adoption of emerging technologies, these are not insurmountable, and generally can be addressed with existing legal mechanisms and commonsense improvements to regulation.
