Luana Sêga (Global Fishing Watch) gives a live demo of the Global Fishing Watch map, showing how our data and models reveal global fishing fleet dynamics. Beyond making AIS data public, Global Fishing Watch partners with countries worldwide to improve transparency of VMS data.

We would like to thank all participants for joining today, our panelists for their insightful presentations and the interpreters for their fantastic and essential work — bringing a rich and engaging discussion on transparency and fisheries management to a close.

Panelist @danielsuddaby.bsky.social, Executive Director of @globaltuna.bsky.social, underscores why AIS is central: tracking tuna vessels and making data public is key for partners. For industry, it boosts accountability & market access; for consumers, it builds trust and transparency.

Luana Sêga (Global Fishing Watch) sets the tone: tackling IUU fishing starts with transparency. Her opening reminds the room that transparency at sea is fundamental — and that mapping human activity is central to drive meaningful change for the ocean.

Our team is in Sevilla for our ICCAT side event: Enhancing Transparency and Fisheries Management through the Use of Automatic Identification Systems. 🤝 @globaltuna.bsky.social
