About Us

Global Fishing Watch is an international nonprofit organization committed to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency. We create and publicly share knowledge about human activity at sea to enable fair and sustainable use of our ocean. Founded in 2015 through a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth and Google, Global Fishing Watch uses cutting-edge technology to create open-source map visualizations, data and analysis tools that enable scientific research and drive a transformation in how we manage our ocean.
