How satellite data and AI are exposing invisible ocean crimes
In short: Pirate fishing and undetected oil spills are devastating marine ecosystems. This video explores how new technology allows us to monitor what was previously impossible to see.
Ocean conservation expert Tony Long, a 2023 Audacious Project grantee, demonstrates how Global Fishing Watch uses satellite data and AI to track industrial human activity at sea. By making the first-ever live map of maritime activity freely available, the project enables researchers, conservationists, and the public to identify and combat maritime offenders in real time.
