🚨🚨Our paper on industrial activity at sea, mapped from space, is out today in @nature! 🚨🚨 https://t.co/gFGJ71lV0w This is the foundation of the Open Ocean Project - @GlobalFishWatch's effort to map all human activity at sea:

#NewPaper in @ScienceAdvances finds that domestic fishing vessels account for the majority of port visits around the world. Comprehensive inspections at port for both foreign and domestic fishing fleets are a key deterrent for #illegalfishing. https://t.co/i715O8UnxH

🔍 Next up for our Ask Global Fishing Watch series: Optical satellite imagery Geospatial data scientist Zihan Wei explains how we use Sentinel-2 for broad offshore coverage and @planet imagery for near-shore activity, including small-scale fishing often missed. 🌊 👉

Our goal: map all human activity at sea. 🌊🛰️ With @planet imagery we can now see: 🛶 Vessels <12m near shore 🎣 Trawling activity impacts 🐟 Aquaculture enclosures worldwide ⛴️ Offshore vessel encounters 🌍 Vessel carbon emissions A new era of #OceanTransparency is here.

It is truly incredible what we can do with this @planet imagery. It is so exciting to be partnering with them to map out the coastal waters of the world.
