Sentinel-1 detects unknown fishing fleets
The map shows individual vessels detected by the Sentinel-1 mission between 2017 and 2021. Vessels that have reported their position to tracking systems are shown in blue, while those that have not are shown in orange. Using artificial intelligence, the ships were classified as fishing or non-fishing vessels. Ships not recorded in public monitoring systems can pose a challenge to the protection and management of marine natural resources.
