◢ ABOUT

Nautical Crime Investigation Services (NCIS) provides technological solutions for national security and maritime defense. At NCIS, we use Artificial Intelligence and tracking technologies for risk assessment and detection of crime occurrences at sea and on land. NCIS technologies are developed with ethical AI in design. The goal is to increase transparency, accountability, protection of human rights and due process in crime detection.

◢ GOALS

Diagram with six connected circles across a horizontal line. Each circle contains a step in a process: 'DETECT' with a note 'Detect criminal activities at sea and on land', 'ANALYZE' with 'Analyze networks to assess risks associated with vessels, companies, and other entities', 'IDENTIFY' with 'Identify and segregate safe and high-risk areas for targeted development and rescue', 'DESIGN' with 'Design accessible hardware for safety and management at sea', 'DEPLOY' with 'Develop and deploy AI in national security', and 'ENHANCE MARITIME DOMAIN AWARENESS' with no additional text. The layout indicates a flow from detection to awareness enhancement.Diagram with six connected circles across a vertical line.

Ocean Sustainability for All Requires Deeper Behavioural Research

Behavioural science can enhance ocean sustainability by providing insights into illegal fishing. Current enforcement criminalizes small-scale fishers and fails to address root causes, letting large-scale illegal fishing off the hook.
