🚨In our new study in @Nature 🚨 we processed 2 million GB of satellite images to identify fishing vessels, nonfishing vessels and fixed infrastructure across the ocean over 5 years. Remarkably, we find that 75% of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked.

ALT A world map showing fishing vessel detections with colors for whether a vessel is publicly tracked using Automatic Identification System data. Analysis reveals that about 75 percent of the world’s industrial fishing vessels are not publicly tracked, with much of that fishing taking place around Africa and south Asia.
📢 JUST PUBLISHED: @GlobalFishWatch leads groundbreaking study in @Nature that illuminates the expanding footprint of human activity at sea.
🛰️ The novel research provides an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean.

Das reale #Faktoreinkommen in der #Landwirtschaft ist heuer deutlich niedriger als 2022.
Eher nicht erwartet, selbst 2021 verlief besser als 2023.
