#AudaciousProject

📢 JUST PUBLISHED: Global Fishing Watch leads groundbreaking study in nature that illuminates the expanding footprint of human activity at sea.

🛰️ The novel research provides an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean.

🌐 bitly.ws/38yJc

🚨In our new study in nature 🚨 we processed 2 million GB of satellite images to identify fishing vessels, nonfishing vessels and fixed infrastructure across the ocean over 5 years. Remarkably, we find that 75% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked.

🧵 1/3: We’re excited to share more about our leading role in the groundbreaking study published today in nature!
