Sustainability through transparency in global fishing activity.

Earlier this year, Global Fishing Watch data helped expose illegal fishing in Revillagigedo National Park 🌊
By tracking vessel movements, even fishing boats that “go dark” can be held accountable. Public satellite data is strengthening protections for marine sanctuaries.

Proud to partner with Bezos Earth Fund on a grant supporting safer, smarter patrol planning across the Eastern Tropical Pacific.

By combining satellite data, AI tools and direct training, we’re helping enforcement teams focus efforts where they matter most. 🌊

As the year closes, one message stands out: ocean protection must move from pledges to action.
Earlier this year, @donabertarelli.bsky.social spoke with @devex.com about why transparency and enforcement matter — and how Marine Manager helps turn data into accountability.

Deep-sea mining would excavate the seafloor and create mid-water plumes that will affect fragile, often ancient, ecosystems.

Watch the video to see what’s at risk and why transparency through the new Deep-Sea Mining Watch platform matters. @ucsbenioffocean.bsky.social

The deep ocean is Earth’s last frontier — vast, unmapped, and home to species we haven’t yet discovered. Our latest In Conversation explores why transparency matters as deep-sea exploration expands, and how the updated Deep-Sea Mining Watch sheds light on activity offshore.

Peru’s artisanal sector is huge 77,000 fishers, 300+ species and communities that depend on them. But their stories aren’t always heard.

We spoke with 30+ fishers last week about the challenges they face and how transparency can help.

🌏 Global Fishing Watch is on the ground for the 22nd WCPFC meeting.
We’re pushing for stronger transparency — more AIS use in tuna fisheries and clearer beneficial ownership reporting. Stronger monitoring = more sustainable & accountable fisheries.

A recent Financial Times investigation uncovers how IUU fishing is closely associated with labour and human rights abuses.

Despite this, nearly half of IUU-listed fishing vessels still get insurance.

As #COP30 wraps up, transparency at sea is proving to be key to protecting our ocean and the communities that depend on it.
Fishing is heavily impacted by climate change, & vessel tracking data lets us see how fleets operate, how fisheries are shifting & where we need action.

As #COP30 calls for stronger global action on emissions, what happens at sea can’t be ignored.

Industrial vessels emitted 1.3B tons of CO₂ in 2023, ~3% of global fossil fuel emissions. Transparency at sea is key to climate accountability.
