🌊 When rogue fishers are held to account, shifts in behavior can occur. ⛴️ Chilean authorities recently fined 21 vessels for non-compliance during a closed fishing season, leading to no infractions next season. Learn how we supported this key outcome. https://buff.ly/41jrNBk

🐟 A high market value and slow reproductive rate make Patagonian toothfish vulnerable to overfishing. 🇨🇱 For Chilean authorities managing these prized fisheries, data transparency, effective monitoring and rapid enforcement are driving a shift in compliance.

Just heard a fascinating talk on the diverse biology that thrives on shipwrecks from Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser of @whoi.edu. we spoke afterward about how to map the learnings from studying shipwrecks to offshore structures like wind turbines. 🧵 events.whoi.edu/shipwrecks-ny

Who owns all the vessels that are up to no good? Illegal fishing, labor violations, pollution, human trafficking. Who actually profits from this? We're working hard to find out, and we will publish what we find. Help us spread the word. cc @openownership.bsky.social

Two weeks ago I said "hey we should use this crazy new map projection" and today there is python code! Showing here global vessel presence density (from AIS) using the spilhaus projection in a single view where you can see the whole ocean.

Today at Global Fishing Watch, on Slack, we are discussing the best map projections for showing off the ocean (this is partially us procrastinating). Our default is an equal earth projection. But some argue we should use the Spilhaus projection instead, which is how "fish see the world."

TIL that humming is therapeutic! Apparently your sinuses produce nitric oxide which helps regulate blood flow in your nose and is also anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. Humming releases NO from your sinus due to the air vibration. Now I just have to figure out what tune to hum ...

Apple Cinnamon Kombucha! Starting off 2025 with a batch of my new winter favorite. Apple and cinnamon stick, with a little bit of ginger, nutmeg and honey. Hoping this will help get the year off to a good start while we indulge in a little escapism by avoiding the news today. Cheers!
