🚨In our new study in @Nature 🚨 we processed 2 million GB of satellite images to identify fishing vessels, nonfishing vessels and fixed infrastructure across the ocean over 5 years. Remarkably, we find that 75% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked.

Con éxito culminó el taller de trabajo colaborativo entre
@GobiernodeChile y @GlobalFishWatch, donde participamos junto a @SubpescaCL, IFOP y @DGTM_Chile. Ésta permitió trazar una hoja de ruta colaborativa para los próximos 4 años en materia de combate a la pesca ilegal.
