...Some of these products may sound familiar, and others may be new to you. What they all have in common is that they report in, wirelessly, to a gateway that tracks everything and posts it on a secure website for you.

Other technologies have contributed; tuna-ranching companies fly spotter planes throughout May over prime breeding grounds off Algeria, Libya and Turkey to track shoals of tuna. (During the rest of the breeding season, the flights are banned by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas [iccat], which sets international rules.) COLLAPSING Convinced that countries are fishing the Mediterranean's stock into extinction, the wwf last year commissioned industry consultants to calculate the real...
