Spotlight on Global Fishing Watch
Global Fishing Watch promotes ocean sustainability through greater transparency, using cutting-edge technology to visualize, track and share data about global fishing activity in near real-time and for free. Since 2018, it has been tracking AIS signals of fishing vessels and publishes a map with the position of all trackable commercial fishing activity, representing billions of publicly-broadcast Automatic Identification Signals from ships at sea.
