Mobile game to help law enforcement officers in the fisheries sector

Nelson Mandela University’s (NMU’s) FishForce Academy has developed a mobile game to help law enforcement officers in the fisheries sector. The game features a virtual simulation environment of inspecting a fishing vessel to ensure compliance with the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA). The game was designed to focus mainly on bridge inspections and specifically on the skills required to thoroughly inspect key documents, such as permits, logs, registrations and transshipments, says NMU FishForce Academy COO Michael de Lange.
