Global Fishing Watch

🎉 Big news! Global Fishing Watch and Trygg Mat Tracking are excited to introduce vessel group analysis and reporting to Vessel Viewer! ⛴️ This release celebrates our technology's breakthrough in going beyond the analysis of a single vessel, to conduct bigger data analysis for a portfolio of vessels. 🐟 Free and accessible to all, the new feature will support fisheries and compliance managers in the review of identity, activity and insights for vessel groups across the global fishing fleet. 📊 Users can also generate automated analysis based on vessel identity and historical activity, and produce aggregated vessel group reports. 🌊 See how these features continue to empower efforts to #FightIUUFishing and enhance ocean governance. bit.ly/42Bl2tz

🌊 The ocean covers 70% of our planet. 🐟 According to the United Nations, 90% of its big fish populations are currently depleted while 50% of coral reefs are destroyed. 🛰️ We've reached a tipping point. But cutting-edge technology can bring us back on track, says Global Fishing Watch CEO, Tony Long. 💬 “As we close in on our 30 by 30 objectives, governments must show the political will to not only define their commitment to protecting ocean biodiversity and ensuring marine conservation, but also in using technological tools to act on those commitments.” 👤 In an op-ed for the World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action, Long underscores the increasingly critical role of digital platforms, such as Global Fishing Watch's Marine Manager, in achieving humanity’s environmental and sustainability goals.

🌊 Thrilled to share good news from one of Global Fishing Watch projects in the CMAR region! Marine Manager is being used to enhance the management and protection of 10 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), with support from the Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy. As COP16 unfolds this week in Cali, Colombia, it's the perfect moment to highlight how technology is reshaping marine conservation. Through open data, Marine Manager empowers MPA administrators and scientists to gain deeper insights into ocean dynamics, share vital information, and collaborate on more effective management strategies. Together, we're making strides toward a healthier ocean! 🌍✨

The #biodiversity of our #oceans is under threat. Tony Long, CEO of Global Fishing Watch explains why #technology is key to monitoring and enforcing protection efforts: https://lnkd.in/d9QgjhNZ #COP16

📸 Highlights! We are at the 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference underscoring the role of innovative technologies such as Global Fishing Watch Marine Manager, in helping governments enhance their capacity towards the monitoring and management of #MPAs globally. 📊 At yesterday's event with IDDRI and wider panelists, we took a crucial look at the conditions in which emerging technologies can be effective for ocean conservation and halting biodiversity loss, the enforcement and compliance mechanisms needed to accompany these tools, and the best ways to make them accessible to people everywhere. 🌊 With #MarineManager providing habitat data for key ecosystems and offering advanced analyses on environmental impacts over time, we look forward to bringing this cutting-edge portal to the forefront at #COP16Colombia over the coming days. 👉 More about Marine Manager, developed in partnership with Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, here: bit.ly/3HOpwDT

🛰️ What role does cutting-edge technology play in protecting our ocean future? 🌎 Global Fishing Watch joins IDDRI and other key panelists at today's #COP16Colombia side event to discuss the use of technology in the monitoring, control and surveillance of marine protected areas (MPAs). 🛰️ Emerging technologies are critical to ensuring sustainable ocean governance and preserving our planet’s unique marine ecosystems. By providing interactive data on human activity and oceanographic conditions in near real-time, Global Fishing Watch Marine Manager, developed in partnership with Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, is one such tool that governments can leverage to unlock new pathways for effective #MPA management. 🌐 Find out more about the portal here: bit.ly/3HOpwDT

✨ We've got some exciting news to share! ⛴️ Vessel Viewer - the innovative vessel history tool developed by Global Fishing Watch and Trygg Mat Tracking - was announced as one of three finalists for the 2024 Responsible Seafood Innovation Awards. 👤 Our product manager for vessels and identity, ShenYan Liow, who will be presenting Vessel Viewer this week at the Global Seafood Alliance #SeafoodSummit24 in Scotland, noted one of the biggest hindrances to addressing challenges in global fisheries has been data sharing. 📊 "Vessel Viewer gathers all these disparate public data sources and applies our machine learning technology and big data analyses to be able to provide meaningful, accessible information to fisheries managers and decision-makers," said Liow. 🌐 Find out more about the award and Vessel Viewer's contribution to the world of fisheries innovation. bit.ly/4f7AYca

🌊 Our ocean is key to supporting a healthy environment and climate - but it’s under threat. 🗺️ As world leaders meet for #COP16Colombia, it’s vital they take urgent action to implement the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework. This means protecting 30% of our ocean by 2030 to safeguard lives, livelihoods and nature. 🛰️ Global Fishing Watch is on the ground in Cali, Colombia, to show how our data and tools can support greater transparency at sea and help governments take effective action to protect our ocean. We can and must do better if we want a sustainable, resilient world for future generations. 🌐 Find out more about how we help governments protect marine biodiversity. bit.ly/47RbkpI
