GeoEye Marine Services has specially been tailored to provide fish-finding and oceanic data services and products, tailored to the unique needs of commercial and government maritime organizations. GeoEye’s SeaStar Fisheries Information Service combines ocean plankton data with oceanographic and meteorological data sets from server satellite imaging systems, processed daily by GeoEye’s expert team and delivered directly to the vessel. Specific buoy, vessel tracking, and research products are available. To maximize the usefulness of this information, GeoEye offers OrbMap software, training and technical support to every customer. OrbMap enables captains and fleet managers to manipulate map layers, converting oceanic location intelligence into smart decision-making tools.
The Marine Services include oceanographic maps, asset tracking hardware and information that is required by all maritime agencies to monitor ocean conditions, vessels and fishing gear. GeoEye’s oceanographers produce "fish finding maps" (FFM) by collecting and processing data from several satellite systems to help captains identify the most productive fishing grounds.

SeaStar Fisheries Information Service, Oceanographic Intelligence, Delivered Fresh Daily
Commercial fishermen want to get to the catch as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. GeoEye's SeaStar Commercial Fishing Service gives the location information needed to make that happen. Plankton concentration data is collected, combined with oceanographic and meteorological information, and processed daily. From there, it's sent directly to the fishing vessel, where the captain can use it to promptly navigate to the closest and potentially most plentiful fishing areas.

Buoys for Fishing & Tracking
With GeoEye's OrbBuoy™ you will be able to know where your buoy is at any time – anywhere in the world. GeoEye's OrbBuoy™ is easy for an owner to retrieve, yet it's designed to avoid detection and theft. The OrbBuoy is retrieved using high-accuracy GPS, a high-intensity night time recovery beacon and two-way communication via the INMARSAT IsatM2M satellite network.
Vessel Monitoring Service
GeoEye’s SeaStar allows you to track your vessel worldwide with advanced GPS and mapping capabilities. GeoEye’s SeaStar Vessel Monitoring Service (VMS) includes the SAT-202 Vessel Tracking Unit (VTU) and the Osprey Personal Tracker. With GeoEye, the location of your fleet or task force is knowable, manageable, and compatible with other critical location intelligence.

Sport Fishing Services
GeoEye’s Sport Fishing Pro Services offer precise oceanographic information, previously available only to commercial fishermen. SeaStar’s OrbMap software offers an organized, scientific record of catch data for all data sets, and an unparalleled ability to learn from oceanic data sets instead of a simple picture.
OrbView-2 Archive and Oceanographic Data
Historical global ocean colour and chlorophyll-a data are available for research and commercial applications from GeoEye's Orbview-2 (OV-2) satellite. The satellite, with its Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), operated from August 1997 – February 2011. OrbView-2 made priceless contributions to the study of our oceans, ecosystems, global climate change and other areas of great importance to society.
