The raw AIS data we use is commercial data and we cannot make it freely available to the public. However, we have created a sample dataset of labeled anonymized AIS data that can be used to train fishing prediction models.
For some projects, you may need access to detailed position data for individual vessels that have not been aggregated by gear type or flag state. The full dataset, including every AIS position of fishing-related vessels, can be licensed for use in a single research project for a one-time fee.
