May 21 (Reuters) - U.S., Japan, Australia, and India will unveil a maritime initiative at the Quad summit in Tokyo to curb illegal fishing in the Indo-Pacific, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing a U.S. official.

The report said that the maritime initiative will use satellite technology to create a tracking system for illegal fishing from the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific by connecting surveillance centers in Singapore and India.

U.S. President Joe Biden is visiting Japan to attend the meeting of the Quad group of countries - Australia, India, Japan and the United States in Tokyo- which have increased cooperation in the face of China's growing assertiveness.

According to the Financial Times report, the maritive initiative will enable these countries to monitor illegal fishing even when the boats have turned off the transponders which are typically used to track vessels.

The U.S.-Indo Pacific coordinator Kurt Campbell had said earlier this month that United States will soon announce plans to battle illegal fishing in the U.S. read more

Sinkapore got no choice but to play the counterbalancing role for ASEAN. Better be the southeast asian outpost for US than let the region become a black hole for their foreign diplomacy

This illegal fishing thing is just an excuse to monitor Chinese maritime activity in its own backyard.

Every country has a right to fish in international waters. There's nothing stopping jiuhu or indon fishing fleets from fishing in Alaska for salmon.
