The document outlines the development and deployment plan of a mobile app designed to enhance maritime domain awareness and curtail illegal Chinese fishing activities in the South China Sea. It involves collaboration with various stakeholders, including the US Department of Defense and Filipino fishermen, to create a tool that assists in tracking illegal operations and increasing local engagement. The initiative aims to improve data collection, promote situational awareness, and ultimately contribute to regional security and stability.

1. Seawatch: Curtailing Chinese Influence in the South China Sea
Final Problem Statement:
“SOCPAC and US Country Teams in Southeast
Asia do not have an unclassified means of
collecting or distributing positions of Illegal
Chinese Fishing Vessels. Increased Maritime
Domain Awareness is a key first step to curtail
China’s growing influence in the South China
Sea.”
Interviews: 121
Supported By: Don Peppers, Major Paul Morton, Lt. Col Liebreich, Capt. Sharman, CDR Malzone, Capt. O’Hara
Original Problem Statement:
“The Special Operations Command Pacific needs
a tool that creates a “Maritime Neighborhood
Watch” to source maritime positional data on
Chinese ships illegally operating in partner territory
in order to more quickly inform maritime law
enforcement and local populations.”
