WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A new study published today in the journal Nature offers an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean and how it is changing.
The groundbreaking study, led by Global Fishing Watch, uses machine learning and satellite imagery to create the first global map of large vessel traffic and offshore infrastructure, finding a remarkable amount of activity that was previously “dark” to public monitoring systems.
