From Vessels to Fleets – A Data Science Journey with HDBSCAN
When we look at the Global Fishing Watch map, we often see fishing activity that appears to move together. That is, we see groups of vessels consistently fishing in proximity to each other even as the group as a whole moves about the ocean. In other words, we see fleets. Â Some members of our team, […]
Our Data in Earth Engine
Today, with our publication in Science, we are releasing fishing effort data for 2012 to 2016. One of the ways we are releasing it is through Google’s Earth Engine. There is a bit of a steep learning curve on Earth Engine – you have to be able to code in JavaScript or Python. But once you […]
What is a vessel encounter?
An encounter is anywhere that a refrigerated cargo vessel meets up with a fishing vessel while at sea. Encounters may indicate potential transshipment activity between two vessels that both appear in the automatic identification system (AIS) data source Our algorithm estimates an encounter event when two vessels were within 500 meters for at least two […]
Characterizing Gaps in the Data
Just a few years ago the very idea of collecting billions of radio signals from ocean-going vessels all around the world and creating a global map of their activity in near-real time would have been unthinkable. But today’s cloud computing technology allows us to do amazing things with huge amounts of data.
The offshore oil boom is fueling a climate crisis at sea
New satellite analysis reveals widespread pollution from offshore oil operations threatening ocean and climate A surge in offshore oil and gas operations is leaving a slick trail of pollution across the world’s oceans, a new report from environmental watchdog SkyTruth has revealed. The report, titled Exposing the Environmental Costs of Offshore Oil: Greenhouse Gas […]
How do I search for fishing activity within a certain time range?
The time bar at the bottom of the Global Fishing Watch map determines the time range you are viewing. To change the time range: Move the start and end bars within the timebar Click on the calendar icon in the bottom left corner, to select a time range or select from a set of pre-defined […]
