🚨 New from the #BioBoost+ team: 67% of industrial fishing in coastal MPAs goes untracked. 🎣

Satellite imagery + GPS data = urgent wakeup call for enforcement.

Hi Kenn, Detection was trained using a Machine Learning model (YOLOv8) which is an object detection, segmentation, and classification model, and the images used to train the model were annotated using the ROBOFLOW platform. If you need more details I can get you in touch with the partner directly.
