Working on this project, from meeting with stakeholders in the Philippines to presenting at the White House, has been a highlight of my @PrincetonSPIA experience. Thanks @ZackCooper and @GregPoling for your leadership and mentorship
Proud to share this report on "Responsible Management" in the South China Sea.
I had the pleasure of advising this workshop with @GregPoling this year at @PrincetonSPIA.
Congrats to the team on a fantastic job! Read it here:

My friend and @PrincetonSPIA classmate, @alisalalala, wrote a fascinating article about the impacts of conflict on small-scale fishers in the South China Sea. A must-read for those interested in human rights at sea, artisanal fisheries, or maritime security👇
China's irregular warfare activities in the South China Sea have been well documented, but few have focused on how civilian fishers experience China's IW activities
In my latest paper for Georgetown's Security Studies Review, I do just that!

Another game-changer from our engineering and product teams 🙌 The portal is not just revolutionary in what it does, but also how it does it, introducing a new way of synthesizing and visualizing data. Check it out: globalfishingwatch.org/marin…
.@DonaBertarelli's vision in creating our marine manager portal was to ensure robust, science-based management to fully realize the vital contribution of protected areas, and monitor quality, efficiency and impact of those protections on the long term. bit.ly/3vrcXGN

Today, @GlobalFishWatch and @DonaBertarelli launch revolutionary new technology to transform management and research for #MPAs and other important marine areas. 🗺️
Here's a thread on why this matters. 🧵

Next Tuesday (4/27) at 6:00 PM EDT: Join Youth Ocean Advocates from the @NewYorkAquarium to learn about the biodiversity in the NYC Seascape and how these youth (and you!) can get involved in ocean conservation while living in an urban setting. Sign up: buff.ly/32C4Bz2
Cutting-edge technology and @GlobalFishWatch research reveal the largest known case of illegal fishing perpetrated by vessels from one nation operating in another nation’s waters. @davidkroodsma explains via @nowthisnews
Here’s how satellite technology and machine learning are being used by @GlobalFishWatch to stop illegal fishing and protect fragile marine ecosystems
Proud of this tremendous effort from our research team. Transparent data paves the way for powerful analysis and, in turn, impactful management. @davidkroodsma @tclavL @na_miller_ @Jaeyoon_GFW
Our @GlobalFishWatch fishing effort data is now public through the end of 2020! Download it here: globalfishingwatch.org/datas…
We've all been deeply impacted by #COVID19 over the past year, and so have global commercial fisheries. New insights from @tclavL 👇
Today is the anniversary of the @WHO declaration of the #COVID19 pandemic. With new analysis, we reflect on the impacts of the pandemic on global commercial fishing activity. ow.ly/lK8H50DW4H4
📢 Part-time remote position to help guide @GlobalFishWatch's work on technology applications to identify and combat forced labor in fisheries.
We're looking at if/how tech innovations can support policies to tackle forced labour in fisheries and need a project coordinator. Passionate about human rights or fisheries management? Organised? Understand port controls? Apply to join @GlobalFishWatch: globalfishingwatch.org/work-…
Transparency is critical to ocean sustainability. That's why @GlobalFishWatch makes the data used in our publications and that fuel our fishing activity map free to download: globalfishingwatch.org/datas…
Three years ago today, we published the first high-resolution footprint of global fishing activity in @ScienceMagazine. Since then, our fishing activity data has been used to support hundreds of studies. Learn more: globalfishingwatch.org/resea…

BREAKING: our new analysis suggests a significant decline in illegal fishing in North Korean and Russian waters in 2020. This change is likely reflective of increased #satellite monitoring and the impact of #COVID19. bit.ly/2XV5Ozn

With more substantial data and improved accuracy, our new model could be used to liberate victims of forced labor in fisheries, improve working conditions, and help prevent human rights abuses in the future. bit.ly/3888Ip3

This is the first study to link companies to fishing activity in #ABNJ.
Amazing work @na_miller_ and @Jaeyoon_GFW!
By connecting fishing vessels with corporate owners, a new #openaccess study in @OneEarth_CP enhances transparency and highlights who is profiting from fish catches in the global commons. #OneOceanOnePlanet #highseas #ABNJ bit.ly/37xx5gN
The @GlobalFishWatch Research Program, led by @davidkroodsma, has been at the heart of our work since day 1. Central to its mission is fostering academic collaboration. We are lucky to have partners as brilliant as @QHanich & @KBoerder (among many others)
Supporting research and innovation through open-access data is critical to our mission. That’s why we’re committed to making as much of our data and code publicly available as possible. Hear why this matters from our partners, @KBoerder and @QHanich: youtu.be/Godc_IYef0Y
