## Overview

Description (English):


At Global Fishing Watch, we provide open-access data and analytical tools that visualize human activity at sea to ensure the fair and sustainable management of our global ocean. By transforming vast satellite information into actionable knowledge, we offer free map visualizations that shed light on commercial fishing and offshore development. This monitoring of both industrial and small-scale vessels bridges the gap in our understanding of marine resource use, helping to protect the vital biodiversity that humanity depends on.


We believe ocean health is a shared responsibility, yet the sea remains one of the least observed parts of our planet. Our work replaces maritime opacity with transparency, ensuring that activity over the horizon is no longer "out of sight, out of mind." By providing this data-driven window, we empower governments and researchers to move beyond guesswork toward evidence-based policy for a thriving ocean.


Description (Spanish): 


En Global Fishing Watch, ofrecemos datos de acceso abierto y herramientas analíticas que permiten visualizar la actividad humana en el mar para promover una gestión justa y sostenible del océano mundial. Al transformar grandes volúmenes de información satelital en conocimiento útil, ponemos a disposición de todos mapas interactivos gratuitos que ofrecen una visión detallada de la pesca comercial y las actividades en alta mar. Este seguimiento de embarcaciones tanto industriales como de pequeña escala mejora nuestra comprensión del uso de los recursos marinos y contribuye a proteger la biodiversidad de la que depende la humanidad.
Creemos que la salud del océano es una responsabilidad compartida; sin embargo, el mar sigue siendo una de las partes menos observadas de nuestro planeta. Nuestro trabajo sustituye la opacidad marítima por transparencia, asegurando que la actividad más allá del horizonte ya no pase desapercibida. Al proporcionar esta visión basada en datos, ayudamos a gobiernos e investigadores a dejar atrás las suposiciones y avanzar hacia políticas fundamentadas en evidencias para garantizar un océano próspero.
