    New technology allows us to monitor activity of brightly lit vessels operating at night, the majority of which are fishing vessels. The system detects 10-20,000 ‘dark’ vessels that are not broadcasting their location each night. Watch the video for more:

    By harnessing big data and artificial intelligence, we’re able to generate a clearer view into the often shadowy practice of transshipment. We launched the first-ever ‘live’ global view of likely transshipments at sea. Watch to learn more: bit.ly/2DIjrrs

    Chile’s fishing fleet, comprising more than 800 artisanal and industrial fishing vessels, is now viewable in our map. Congrats to @sernapesca for this progressive move to aid national monitoring and control efforts, including combating illegal fishing. bit.ly/2VSeFzR
