[ti:Peru, Indonesia Put Their Fishing Information Online] [by:www.51voa.com] [00:00.00]更多听力请访问51VOA.COM [00:01.72]Peru became only the second country in the world [00:06.43]to make their fishing boat data available to the public. [00:11.88]The information will appear on the website of Global Fishing Watch, [00:17.80]a non-profit organization. [00:20.88]Indonesia was the first country to share its fishing data with the group. [00:27.40]Officials from both countries announced their new policy [00:32.44]at the United Nations Ocean Conference in New York City on Wednesday. [00:39.20]Indonesia said its data is available now [00:43.40]while Peru promised to share its information in the near future. [00:50.04]The data will appear on Global Fishing Watch's website. [00:55.12]The website has a map that is a tool for environmentalists, [01:00.52]journalists, governments and citizens. [01:05.12]Global Fishing Watch uses satellites and receivers [01:09.76]to follow 60,000 commercial and private fishing boats around the world. [01:17.24]This information appears on an interactive map. [01:22.40]The organization hopes the information it provides [01:27.04]will permit citizens to see how fisheries are managed. [01:32.16]Global Fishing Watch's website says seafood suppliers [01:37.16]can find information on the boats from which they buy seafood [01:42.72]and fishermen can show they are following the law. [01:47.16]Jackie Savitz is the vice president of the Oceana conservation group. [01:53.60]The organization is one of the partners of Global Fishing Watch. [01:59.36]She told VOA that once fishing boats leave a port, [02:04.04]it is difficult to know what the ships are doing. [02:08.52]They may be fishing in protected parts of the sea [02:12.76]or sailing into another country's waters. [02:17.04]Savitz says she likes the strong leadership Peru and Indonesia have shown [02:23.52]by permitting anyone to follow their fishing boats online. [02:28.28]"With more eyes on the ocean, [02:30.68]there are fewer places for illegal fishers to hide," she said. [02:36.00]Savitz says she hopes other countries will follow Indonesia [02:41.52]and Peru by helping to provide the public with information. [02:47.44]Similar actions by other governments would give environmentalists, [02:52.72]and buyers and sellers of seafood, a clearer understanding [02:57.92]of where their favorite seafood comes from.
