Data Caveats

The analysis presented in this portal relies on commercially available AIS data and publicly available information. Therefore, AIS data is limited to only those vessels that transmit on AIS and do so by providing accurate vessel identity information. Learn more about AIS data here and here.

Portal Usage

This portal acknowledges that AIS data represents only one dataset without prejudice to further information available to provide a complete understanding of any potential noncompliant or unauthorized fishing activity
