Using ICT for environmental regulation. Overlaps between privacy and environmental law.
summary
Environmental regulators report concrete deployments: a national EPA spends about 10% of its budget on ICT, runs an Environmental Data Exchange Network, publishes bathing updates through the Splash mobile app, and fields only ~5 FOI and ~30 AIE requests yearly. NGOs buy aerial photos (~€300/hr) and use Google Earth snapshots; commercial providers like Planet Labs daily imagery and Skybox promise near-daily and high‑def coverage, while a UK firm certifies images for court. Practical problems arise: irremovable medical records in public submissions, certification costs, expertise gaps, and a digital‑divide that skews whose environmental data influences decisions.
