In mid December 2024, we began resolving an identified error with apparent fishing estimation in the Global Fishing Watch platform and APIs.
We have fully resolved this issue and the data lag is back to the expected three-day delay.
According to an impact assessment, the fishing effort estimate from 2024-10-01 to 2024-12-31 has increased by 1% to 5% depending on the date and location. Therefore, we advise rerunning analyses that rely on the most fishing effort estimates if they cover the affected date range.
