Global Fishing Watch has released two new Stats APIs or application programming interfaces that allow you to get stats about fishing effort or about different events.
You can integrate our APIs to get stats about:
- Fishing effort worldwide for a period of time and filtering by gear type or flag (4Wings Stats)
- Regional and worldwide stats about events (Events Stats)
- Fishing events
- Encounters events
- Loitering events
- Port visits
For example you can send a custom region to the Events Stats API to get all fishing events with a specific duration or all encounters that happened in an EEZ (by sending a region ID).
To learn more check out the examples in the API documentation on the Global Fishing Watch site. Share feedback through this form. Email [email protected] for support.
Release – Thursday 27 March
