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. 🔗

Tony Long: The outlaws of the ocean — and how we're reeling them in Pirate fishing, oil spills and other undetected crimes are destroying ocean ecosystems -- but we can't stop what we can't see. Harnessing the power of satellite data and AI to catch maritime offenders...

If you can't see it, you can't manage it.

In my TED Talk, I share how we're using satellites, AI and open data at @globalfishingwatch.org to fight illegal fishing and bring transparency to the ocean.
