Making Fisheries More Transparent: Shining A Light On The Dark Seas
For years, the ocean’s depths have been shrouded in mystery, but now researchers are beginning to lift the veil and uncover the secrets of the dark seas. The recent launch of the Global Fishing Watch, a satellite-based monitoring system, is helping to make fisheries more transparent and provide greater insight into the nature of ocean life. The system collects data from commercial fishing vessels and land-based fish farms, tracking their movements and activities in near real-time. By providing a comprehensive view of global fishing activity, the system is helping to shed light on the hidden dynamics of the ocean and provide valuable insights into how fish populations are being impacted by commercial fishing. With this new technology, researchers are on the verge of illuminating the dark seas and gaining a better understanding of the complex dynamics of ocean life.
