A nation-first trial using automated vessels to target illegal fishing is set to take place off Western Australia's coast.
The two uncrewed marine vessels, known as Bluebottles, will capture real-time activity in waters off Jurien Bay and Two Rocks in a 30-day trial conducted by Parks Australia.
The 22-foot vessels look similar to a small yacht, but their purpose will focus on the protection and surveillance of WA's coastline.
Federal Minister for Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek said the trial would be used to target illegal fishing activity.
