    Description

    Background:
    Global Fishing Watch is an international, non-profit organization committed to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency.

    We create and publicly share knowledge about human activity at sea to enable fair and sustainable use of our ocean.

    Founded in 2015 through a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth, and Google, GFW became an independent non-profit organization in June 2017.

    Using cutting-edge technology, we create and publicly share map visualizations, data and analysis tools to enable scientific research and drive a transformation in how we manage our ocean.

    Our major focus is on commercial fishing because it is the most widespread human activity at sea, the most impactful on ocean health, and the most crucial for global livelihoods and food security.

    By 2030, we aim to monitor and visualize the impact of ocean-going vessels, both industrial and small-scale, that are responsible for the vast majority of the global seafood catch.

    We believe human activity at sea should be common knowledge in order to safeguard the global ocean commons for the common good of all.
