Imam colorblind myself so my graphs always look like "see it from space"

Thanks Travis. Looks like the team has confirmed that this is something coming from the host provider where our WordPress site is hosted. That's for being the squeaky wheel Travis!

Thanks Travis. I reached the same conclusion myself - something wonky with cloudflare. I forwarded this to the team, but I don't know if we will be able to reproduce the problem.

Ok looking a little deeper it looks like this is a firewall issue on our end and the "please wait" message might be coming from cloudflare. Curiouser and curiouser. I will investigate further

Hmm....so something weird with the buff.ly url shorter then. Thanks for troubleshooting. Maybe I should turn off the automatic url shortening

That's strange. The link redirect is working for me now. It should go here globalfishingwatch.org/open-ocean-r...

Weâre offering up to $10k for individuals and $20k for teams using our data to tackle key ocean research questions.
Perhaps your research project will end up producing a something new to integrate into our public map!

Yep - that's the first thing I commented on in slack when this was posted internally to the team. Hope to have that dfone soon. @oceanknigge.bsky.social do you know if there are any trusted verifiers that are doing NGO verifications? Would be great to have someone in the community take that on.

So this would be a paper studying the titles of other papers. Measure the viral potential of papers based solely on the title, which is the only part most of the internet will ever read anyway.

This is exactly where my wife and I are now, for cost reasons and also for climate reasons. A road trip driving an EV is looking much more attractive than a flight for the foreseeable future.

Learn how public vessel tracking, open-access tools and international cooperation are helping countries reclaim control of their marine resources, tackle illegal fishing and build a more sustainable future for all.

Tony Long, CEO of Global Fishing Watch, Antha N. Williams of Bloomberg Philanthropies, and Elielma Borcem, of Brazilâs Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, explore how technology, transparency and political will must converge around vessel tracking to reshape the future of ocean governance.

As the world races towards its ocean sustainability and 30x30 goals, governments will need to step up their efforts to make the invisible visible and transform ocean governance through transparency.

So that makes me ask how can orgs like mine can contribute to increasing people's confidence in the truth behind our message. I think we need to figure out how to better localize our content.

The discussion got me thinking that the long term trend of increasing distrust in institutions that has crested now in the new US administration is driven by a struggle by regular folks to find truth in an increasingly complex and connected world.

Our research teams honed in on vessels that broadcast their GPS positions using AIS, while leveraging satellite radar to detect vessels that have been absent from public monitoring systems until now. In 2023 alone, the analysis estimated that industrial vessels emitted approximately 1.3 billion tons

The preliminary analysisâundertaken as part of our ongoing work under the Audacious prize to shed light on all human activity at sea, covered more than half a million vessels from 2016 to 2023.

In the future, if and when the actual mining activity begins in the high seas, we will track the mining vessels as well as the support vessels, and we will watch to see how the fishing activity changes

This is one of the early steps we are taking toward our TED Audacious promise to reveal "all human activity at sea". For mining exploration activity we have a simple model that identifies the exploration behavior and you can zoom in to see exactly where the exploration is happening

It is nice to see that the solar panels on my humble roof are contributing to a larger trend

One of the co-founders. Egil Möller, worked with me way back in the SkyTruth days and helped me develop the first prototype of what became Global Fishing Watch. Egil used to write code from his sailboat in the summers while wandering around the coast of Scandinavia.
