AIS vessel presence · 24h
GFW uses AIS — a maritime safety broadcast system — to track commercial vessels via satellite and identify apparent fishing activity from speed and direction changes. AIS gaps sometimes expose illegal or unreported fishing operations.
Vessel encounters · 7d
GFW flags an encounter when two vessels meet within 500m for 2+ hours at low speed, away from port. These events may indicate transshipment, crew changes, or catch laundering — activities hard to verify but critical for accountability. Southeast Asia is one of the most active regions in this regard, and my reporting there directly covers some of these governance blind spots.
Offshore infrastructure
Offshore platforms and wind farms detected via Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical satellites, classified with deep learning (Paolo et al., Nature 2024). Fixed infrastructure dataset, December 2025. Maps the fixed industrial footprint in my career regions — from North Sea energy to Southeast Asian oil fields — providing spatial context for maritime law and ocean governance coverage. Shown for career regions only: Europe, Southeast Asia and South America.
