Global Fishing Watch

🚨 BREAKING! #GlobalFishingWatch, @emLabUCSB and @ClimateTRACE undertake first-ever pilot study to map the emissions of all large industrial vessels operating at sea. The analysis covered the activity of more than half a million vessels from 2016-2023. Here's what we found.…

🌍 It’s World Mangrove Day! 🌿 Mangroves cover just 0.1% of Earth but store up to 10x more carbon per hectare than land forests. They’re nurseries for fish, protect coasts, and support livelihoods. In Guyana, #GlobalFishWatch’s Marine Manager tracks vessel traffic to protect…

🚨New study reveals: Fully protected marine reserves are proving effective at reducing illegal fishing bit.ly/4lO8p7v @JenniferRaynor_ , @globalfishwatch board member & lead author, shares with @_TCglobal why this matters and how advances in technology & AI make this…

📣 A new @ScienceMagazine study co-authored by @GlobalFishWatch board members @JenniferRaynor_ & @Enric_Sala shows: fully & highly protected MPAs are effective at deterring illegal fishing Read more 👇 bit.ly/4lVPffK @NG_PristineSeas @UWMadison

Using artificial intelligence methods applied to satellite data, #UWMadison researchers have found that the world’s most strongly protected marine protected areas had little-to-no industrial fishing activity. news.wisc.edu/satellites-sho…

Marine protected areas can protect fish and maintain healthy ecosystems. As demonstrated by two related papers in this issue, however, such areas are only effective against illegal fishing when established limitations are enforced. Learn more this week in Science:…

IUU fishing accounts for up to 1 in 5 fish caught globally, threatening ecosystems, food security and maritime governance. @GlobalFishWatch is using satellite technology and open data to map and monitor fishing effort in near-real time. By making this information publicly…

#Tarapacá: Junto a @GlobalFishWatch, realizamos en Iquique un taller para la macrozona norte para el apoyo de los controles portuarios de pesca. En la actividad se hicieron presentes equipos de las Direcciones Regionales de Arica y Parinacota, Tarapacá y Antofagasta.

🧠 How do our AI models harness satellite imagery to detect vessels from space? We trained a deep learning model on 11,000+ manually reviewed vessel examples across thousands of Sentinel-2 images to teach it what vessels look like—from geometric shape and pixel brightness to…

🌊 Nuestro océano está en crisis, pero la solución está a nuestro alcance. La Carta Global para la Transparencia en la Pesca ofrece soluciones reales y accesibles para que los gobiernos actúen. 🔗 fisheriestransparency.net 📽️ Mira el video con subtítulos en español:…

The ocean will heal… if we give it the time and space. 🌊 Paolo Roberto Domondon, Chief Program and Policy Officer at Global Fishing Watch, makes it clear: the most powerful solutions come when we unite data with lived experience. #30x30 #MPAs #CommunityLedConservation…

Marine protection can’t stop at designation. Many MPAs still allow harmful activities or lack effective monitoring, making it hard to know if they’re truly safeguarding ocean life. In a recent interview with @devex, @DonaBertarelli explains why transparency is essential for…

“If governments can't see that activity, if citizens and advocates can't see what's going on, there's no way to set the rules — much less enforce them.” 🎙️ @anthawilliams of @BloombergDotOrg shares how tools like Global Fishing Watch are making ocean activity visible and…
