A new study by Global Fishing Watch reveals 72%-76% of global industrial fishing is unmonitored.

The study shows an increase in offshore energy development and a dominance of fishing activity in Asia.

Mapping vessel traffic and infrastructure can help estimate greenhouse gas emissions at sea and track marine degradation due to oil exploration.

The technology can aid in protecting and managing natural resources, and combating climate change.

The study was a partnership between Global Fishing Watch, Google, Oceana, and SkyTruth, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, National Geographic Pristine Seas, Oceankind, and Google.
