🚨 BREAKING! #GlobalFishingWatch, @emLabUCSB and @ClimateTRACE undertake first-ever pilot study to map the emissions of all large industrial vessels operating at sea. The analysis covered the activity of more than half a million vessels from 2016-2023. Here's what we found. bit.ly/41TQ0NT

Better vessel tracking requires more than technology. 🛰️🌊 Our Vessel Tracking Best Practices Guide brings together the standards, legal frameworks and practical steps governments need to build effective tracking systems. 📘 Explore the guide: bit.ly/4r2UMEX

🌊 Meet the projects turning open ocean data into local action. First up: Guardians of the Coast in Pitangui, Brazil, working with local communities to turn ocean data into accessible tools that support stronger participation in ocean governance. Part of our Open Ocean Research Grant Program. 🔗 Learn more: bit.ly/3GJCiWQ

👀 Guess who’s making an appearance in Blue Planet III… A little glimpse of how technology and transparency are helping bring human activity at sea into view. 🌊 More to come soon. youtube.com/watch?v=LvjlkoWk… #BluePlanetIII #OceanTransparency #GlobalFishingWatch

A clearer view of activity at sea is coming. 🌊 On Oct. 21, Global Fishing Watch is launching a major update to the data behind our platform —improving how we identify apparent fishing activity and vessels across the global ocean. Stay tuned.

🌊 How can AI help governments turn ocean data into action? Global Fishing Watch CEO Tony Long and @allen_ai Namrata Kolla broke it down at @Devex Impact House during #NYCClimateWeek, discussing how vast datasets can be transformed into actionable intelligence that keeps human judgment at the center. 👉 devex.com/news/sponsored/how…

🌊 From ocean data to action. At #ClimateWeekNYC, our CEO Tony Long joined @allen_ai Namrata Kolla to explore how AI can reveal hidden activity at sea, support enforcement and accelerate ocean protection. 🎥 Watch the full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=AD25NnMD…

How can we see what vessels are doing far out at sea? 🌊 AIS broadcasts a vessel’s identity, position, course and speed, helping make fishing activity more visible and supporting greater transparency at sea. 🎥 Watch our explainer globalfishingwatch.org/vesse… #WorldMaritimeDay

🌊 Big news from #ClimateWeekNYC! Global Fishing Watch and @allen_ai @SkylightMarine are joining forces to bring AI agents and advanced satellite technology to ocean monitoring — turning ocean data into actionable insights and supporting stronger enforcement. 📸 From today’s signing. 👉 globalfishingwatch.org/press…

How do governments keep track of fishing vessels at sea? 🌊 VMS is a secure tracking system that sends vessel position data to fisheries authorities, helping them monitor activity, assess compliance and strengthen enforcement. 🎥 Watch our explainer

How can AI reveal small fishing vessels that are almost invisible from space? 🛰️🌊 In our latest Ask the Expert, Yuexin Li explains how high-resolution satellite imagery and AI can detect small vessels and help close a major monitoring blind spot. 👉 globalfishingwatch.org/insig…

The ocean covers 70% of our planet, yet much of what happens on it remains unseen. 🌊 Global Fishing Watch uses open data and technology to make human activity more visible—supporting stronger ocean governance and marine protection. globalfishingwatch.org/

What is GALAPEX — and how was Global Fishing Watch involved? 🌊 Over the past few weeks, our team joined 12 countries and four organizations, using pre-patrol analysis to support operational planning, strengthen maritime awareness and help tackle illegal fishing through regional cooperation. @armada_ecuador

🚨 Too much of what happens at sea remains out of sight. Our new Vessel Tracking Best Practices Guide is live, with practical steps to help governments strengthen tracking, improve transparency and turn better data into better decisions. 📘 Read: globalfishingwatch.org/repor…

GALAPEX 2026: A look back 🌊 Global Fishing Watch joined 12 countries and four organizations to strengthen cooperation against illegal fishing. Our data helped inform patrol planning and realistic exercises at sea. Stronger ocean protection starts with shared information.

AI, satellites and vessel tracking are changing how we see activity at sea. 🌊🛰️ We spoke to Dr. Jennifer Raynor on how these technologies can reveal previously hidden activity and support better decisions for our ocean. Read more: globalfishingwatch.org/artic…
