10 Ways to Use Global Fishing Watch's FREE Advanced Features to Get the Most from the Map Are you using all of @GlobalFishWatch's advanced features to their fullest potential? Here are 10 to check out... 👇🏻

Proud to be (a very small) part of the team that made this possible! And grateful for @esa and @TheAudaciousPrj. Explore the new detections here 👉 bit.ly/Sentinel-2_rel…

This dataset spans five years of imagery and most of the world’s coastline, including regions with minimal traditional monitoring. It is open, scalable, and designed for those working to monitor or manage activity at sea.

In one click, you can now see a vessel captured from space. With this latest release of imagery vessel detections from Sentinel-2, @GlobalFishWatch now provides a photo from space for every detection, bringing clarity and context to what’s happening at sea. 👇

🚨🚨🚨 @GlobalFishWatch is looking for a consultant to help us set up a small grants program for researchers to apply and improve our datasets: job-boards.greenhouse.io/globalfishingw… 🚨🚨🚨 Please share!

Today, Google released its 2024 Environmental Report, which talks a bit about @GlobalFishWatch. blog.google/outreach-initi…

Vessel viewer is providing insights that are easy to access, understand and use. Open data tools on @GlobalFishWatch platform, such as this, will make a difference in how we manage ocean resources. #OurOceanGreece #EndIUUfishing #OurOcean2024 @MooreFound @BloombergDotOrg

⛴️ Vessel Viewer — the powerful vessel history tool we developed with @tm_tracking, has a new feature! 💡 The new insights tab allows users to examine a vessel’s identity, activity, authorizations and compliance history! Explore the latest updates here: bit.ly/GFW-updates

@BD_Stew @thembauk @PlymUni Beautiful part of the world 🙌🏻

I am delighted to share that I have started as a Senior Research Fellow @thembauk and an Associate Professor @PlymUni Lots of exciting new plans & projects on the way. Please get in touch if you are down that way 🐟🦞🦪🐙🌱

Using satellite imagery and AI, @GlobalFishWatch is able to map human activity at sea with more precision than before. Read more about Global Fishing Watch and its audacious plans here: audaciousproject.org/grantees/globa… #AudaciousProject

📢 JUST PUBLISHED: @GlobalFishWatch leads groundbreaking study in @Nature that illuminates the expanding footprint of human activity at sea. 🛰️ The novel research provides an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean. 🌐 bitly.ws/38yJc

🚨In our new study in @Nature 🚨 we processed 2 million GB of satellite images to identify fishing vessels, nonfishing vessels and fixed infrastructure across the ocean over 5 years. Remarkably, we find that 75% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked.

🧵 1/3: We’re excited to share more about our leading role in the groundbreaking study published today in @Nature! 🛰️ The novel research provides an unprecedented view of previously unmapped human activity at sea: globalfishingwatch.org/press-release/…

Congratulations @HACforNP this is an important step towards achieving #30by30 Glad to have @GlobalFishWatch as one of the initial group to provide technical assistance.

Con éxito culminó el taller de trabajo colaborativo entre @GobiernodeChile y @GlobalFishWatch, donde participamos junto a @SubpescaCL, IFOP y @DGTM_Chile. Ésta permitió trazar una hoja de ruta colaborativa para los próximos 4 años en materia de combate a la pesca ilegal.
