AIS can be fitted to any boat of any size though Dave so long as it is capable of receiving GPS and has radar. In effect for an outlay of £200, anyone wanting to break the law can watch fishery patrol vessels watching them and act accordingly. They could easily spot one from 20 miles away and would know exactly it's speed and heading and therefore it's crews intentions.


I was going to fit it to my boat but soon realised the downside - other charter angling boats could monitor where we are fishing and obtain our marks.
