Exciting news! Global Fishing Watch's public fishing effort data now covers up to 2020. The fishing big data becomes even bigger, and more importantly, helps you better understand human activity at sea.

A very neat analysis on Covid's impact on fishing activity in 2020, using Global Fishing Watch new data release, by Tyler Clavelle: bit.ly/3lbPPYc Read also the Guardian's cover: bit.ly/38yQkXs

Now, this compelling story about satellite technology combined with artificial intelligence revealing massive illegal fishing. A nice 2-min summary video created by @nowthisnews based on Global Fishing Watch's work last year.

A fantastic management tool for marine protected areas with easy-to-use and sleek maps and data. Another big step forward! Global Fishing Watch Dona Bertarelli

Transparency can help create a better understanding of the squid fishing effort in support of scientific research and management measures. Learn more: globalfishingwatch.org/fisheries/jumb…

Catches of jumbo squid have continued to grow significantly since the early 2000s and are important to local economies. In Peru, it is the second-largest fishery after anchovy. Learn more at: globalfishingwatch.org/fisheries/jumb…

An interesting story of detecting dark fishing vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea region. By colleagues from Global Fishing Watch

.Global Fishing Watch and Defense Innovation Unit are collaborating to run the third #xView Challenge competition to find the best algorithms for automating detection of dark vessels in radar imagery. U.S. Coast Guard NOAA #NMIO Learn more: globalfishingwatch.org/press-release/…

Each year a jumbo squid fishery off the western coast of South America attracts distant water fishing fleets from around the world. This year we’re monitoring the activity to promote transparency and support better management of the resource. Learn more: globalfishingwatch.org/jumbo-squid-fi…

Today, Global Fishing Watch and DefenseInnovationUnit launched xView3, a #MachineLearning competition to advance automated detection of fishing activity from SAR imagery to combat illegal #fishing. Check it out! #rstats iuu.xview.us

We are going beyond AIS. Dark vessels are on our radar. And there is a lot more to come soon building on GFW's success in fisheries research and data innovation.

We are still #hiring. A scientific programmer who is passionate about environment, conservation, research, engineering, and code.

I'm ready for today's tea time with my own bubble tea 😀 How about yours? Thumbs up Julia Han Janicki 🌻

Tracking vessel identity and behavior from the cradle to the grave. This mission has been my core work from Day One at Global Fishing Watch. So pleased to have this out to the world via Science Advances I can sleep tight tonight! Our journey of data innovation continues.

Remember it was pain in the neck navigating all registries to find incomplete or conflicting info about a vessel I was looking for. Through Global Fishing Watch led paper, we compiled public data together, over multi years, linking previous identities/flags. A better world now? 😀

A new study led by Global Fishing Watch reveals information about the shifting identities of the global fishing fleet, which can help tackle illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) fishing. My latest for Mongabay news.mongabay.com/2023/01/study-…

🚨 JOB ALERT We are hiring for a junior data scientist to play a key role on the Research and Innovation team by coordinating the team’s engagement with the research community. Apply now: globalfishingwatch.org/careers/?gh_ji…
