Today marks a historic day for the ocean 🌊 The High Seas Treaty is now in force — but its success depends on what comes next. Read how Global Fishing Watch is helping turn ambition into real protection in @ceo.globalfishingwatch.org full statement: https://bit.ly/49HCWiu

Proud to share the launch of the updated Deep-Sea Mining Watch platform. This new tool brings much-needed visibility to deep-sea exploration, using open data and advanced analytics to help the world understand what’s happening in one of the ocean’s most remote regions.

📣 BREAKING: Deep-Sea Mining Watch is LIVE. Developed by the @ucsbenioffocean.bsky.social and powered by @globalfishingwatch.org technology, this new public data portal maps vessel activity linked to deep-sea mineral exploration around the world. Explore the new portal → bit.ly/4pg00v3

This is great - the bottom line is that strict marine protected areas work not only for marine life but for small scale fishermen. Why are fishing organisations not clamouring for these? www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

When vessel tracking data is public, accountability follows. Chile’s leadership in transparency shows what’s possible when governments choose openness over opacity. This is the future of fisheries management — data-driven, inclusive and effective. 🇨🇱

A landmark recognition for the High Seas Treaty — and a moment of hope for ocean governance. 🌊 Congratulations to the @highseasalliance.bsky.social and all who made this global agreement a reality. Transparency will be key to turning commitment into action. #BBNJ #HighSeas #EarthshotPrize

Artificial intelligence is changing how we see the ocean. Used responsibly, it can detect hidden fishing, predict risk, and empower smarter governance. But we must ensure these tools serve transparency, not secrecy. Read how Global Fishing Watch is leading the way. @paulwoods.io bit.ly/4qMiQLR

🌊 Wrapping up #NYCClimateWeek + #UNGA80 with growing momentum for the ocean. With more belief in public data & transparency, we can help protect biodiversity, fight IUU fishing and support #BBNJ implementation. Continued momentum will be critical for the ocean and our planet. 🌍

A rainy morning run here in New York has sparked a few thoughts on #ClimateWeekNYC and #BBNJ

AI is transforming how we see activity at sea. My colleague @paulwoods.io explains why data transparency can build on current insights, improve the performance of AI models and empower good governance, to protect marine life, fisheries & coastal communities. 📄 globalfishingwatch.org/opinion/ai-c...

Honored to contribute to the discussion yesterday at @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social high-level roundtable during #UNGA80, which focused on the role of AI in advancing ocean transparency and sustainability. Keeping transparency and open data at the center of ocean governance is essential

Looking forward to joining global leaders at the @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social High-Level Roundtable on ocean governance at #UNGA80 this week. Excited to discuss transparency, accountability, and the future of our shared ocean. #Ocean #Governance #BBNJ #Transparency

I have arrived in New York ahead of #UNGA80. My agenda this week is to keep transparency at the heart of high-seas discussions and build the partnerships needed to deliver transparency. Big moment for the ocean: time to make it count. #BBNJ @globalfishingwatch.org @highseasalliance.bsky.social

The High Seas Treaty has officially achieved its 60th landmark ratification — but now we need to get to work. With openness and transparency guiding strong government action, we can find a better way to govern and manage the ocean for future generations. My statement: bit.ly/3KcA0RJ

The High Seas Treaty has officially achieved its 60th landmark ratification, a historic milestone for our ocean. 🌍 But ratification is just the start. Now comes the hard work: turning commitments into protections through transparency + accountability. Read our statement: https://bit.ly/3KcA0RJ

The High Seas Treaty has entered into force — but now we need to get to work. With openness and transparency guiding strong government action, we can find a better way to govern and manage the ocean for future generations. My statement: globalfishingwatch.org/statement/th... #BBNJ #Transparency

New report from the @ejfoundation.org Hundreds of distant-water vessels plunder Argentine shortfin squid, a keystone of ocean life & a lifeline for coastal economies. The Coalition for Fisheries Transparency is pushing for stronger rules to end these abuses through its Global Charter. bit.ly/4gsAHCy

The BBNJ Agreement is expected to come into force at #UNGA80, a milestone for ocean governance. To implement it, we urge leaders to adopt greater transparency in fisheries governance. Knowing who owns a vessel is key to improving compliance & ending illegal fishing. We can't manage what we can't see

My thoughts are with Rémi's family and friends this afternoon as his memorial service takes place in Amsterdam. I am sad not to have been able to travel but I know that his achievements will be celebrated in style! His memory, his legend, will live on in so many ways. RIP Rémi. 💙

Brazil is showing how open data and technology can strengthen ocean governance. Tools like Marine Manager, co-developed by Dona Bertarelli, turn complex information into clear insights, helping build the ocean resilience we need ahead of #COP30 globalfishingwatch.org/article/braz...

The ocean sustains billions of people and global economies. Yet, illegal and unreported fishing operates largely in the shadows, threatening marine life, human rights, and food security. Governments must act now to deliver full transparency at sea. Learn more: bit.ly/41M3PyE @oceana.bsky.social

The High Seas Treaty is history in the making. But its promise depends on action. At #BBNJ PrepCom II, @globalfishingwatch.org is on the ground supporting evidence-based implementation of the BBNJ agreement. Let’s ensure the treaty translates into real protections for the ocean.

From navigating warships to leading the charge for ocean transparency, @ceo.globalfishingwatch.org Tony Long shares how satellites, AI and open data are transforming how we protect our ocean. Watch his TED Talk 👇

If you can't see it, you can't manage it. In my TED Talk, I share how we're using satellites, AI and open data at @globalfishingwatch.org to fight illegal fishing and bring transparency to the ocean. www.ted.com/talks/tony_l... #TEDTalk #OceanTransparency

Why do some say marine protected areas are just “paper parks”? And are industrial fishers actually staying out of these no-fishing zones? New in @science.org: We used AI + satellite radar to find out. doi.org/10.1126/scie... #ScienceResearch #OceanConservation #OceanTransparency #30x30 #Fisheries

🌊 This week, @globalfishingwatch.org, in partnership with Dona Bertarelli, hosted Chile’s first Marine Manager workshop 🇨🇱 Exploring the portal’s tools to support the design, management and monitoring of MPAs, a key step as Chile strengthens ocean protection. globalfishingwatch.org/marine-manag...

Eight African nations have just made a transformative commitment to 100% sustainable ocean management, not just to protect and restore marine ecosystems, but to ensure their sustainable use for generations to come. www.wri.org/news/stateme...
