Since June 2021, Bees & Trees has been supporting Sea Shepherd in the fight against illegal, re-regulated and undocumented (IUU) fishing in the Mediterranean by providing a swarm of drones. 

The first drone will be deployed in Operation Siso on the vessel Sea Eagle in Italy.

Operation Siso aims to protect the fragile ecosystem of the Aeolian Islands from IUU fishing. The campaign also exposes the real-world consequences of using decoy buoys.
