New #OpenAccess paper! We use #AIS data from @GlobalFishWatch to analyse #fishing activity at #seamounts globally. Seamounts in the Pacific Island Group and Mediterranean Sea experienced the highest levels of longlining and trawling respectively. bit.ly/3s3JDGS 1/3

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

How did illegal fishing behaviour change during the pandemic? Our team's latest publication, out today in @CurrentBiology is revealing a worrying picture. Read on... 📷 @clairesjcollins

COVID-19 contributed to changes in fisheries management and a massive spike in illegal fishing for sharks and reef species in an Indian Ocean area...we highlight the importance of a wide toolkit including bilateral cooperation to combat illegal fishing doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.0…

On a small island with limited resources and only a small boat, protecting all 445,000 square km of our MPA may seem impossible. However, using satellite data provided by @GlobalFishWatch we can monitor our MPA with swift efficiency and with much less drama than you might think.

#AIS has revolutionized the way fishing activity is monitored across the ocean. But AIS devices can be switched off to conceal a vessel’s activity. We seek to identify when and why fishing vessels intentionally stop broadcasting their position. globalfishingwatch.org/resea…

Project - Disabled Signals

We seek to identify when and why fishing vessels stop broadcasting their AIS position in order to help combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.

A recently published #OpenAccess paper by @ChrisRKerry shows how open source datasets can quantify fishing at remote, poorly monitored seamounts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Monitoring global fishing activity in proximity to seamounts using automatic identification systems

Seamounts are prominent features of the seafloor that are often located in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJs). Whilst comprehensive biological information is lacking on most of these featur...

New @GlobalFishWatch dataset! We matched our global AIS data of vessel locations with detections of vessels using lights. This reveals large fleets of likely fishing vessels that don’t broadcast AIS, helping us better map human activity at sea. globalfishingwatch.org/data/…

#JustPublished a new GFCM database on national fisheries closures👏 1⃣st time ever, all areas closed to all or some fishing activities, within national waters of #Mediterranean & #BlackSea countries are centralized in one single interactive map❗️ 🗺️fao.org/gfcm/data/maps/nfclo…

Analysis by management area displayed reduced fishing pressure at seamounts within #protectedareas but high fishing at #EEZs within the Mediterranean Sea and the west coast of Africa. Within #ABNJs, higher levels of fishing occurred within #RFMOs than areas without RFMOs. 2/3

Analysis by flag states showed that Taiwan, China, Japan, South Korea and Spain were responsible for the majority of fishing at seamounts. Our results show how open source datasets can provide insights in areas where monitoring is restricted by expense and inaccessibility. 3/3
