London, Greater London, United Kingdom Global Fishing Watch Full time

About Global Fishing Watch:

Global Fishing Watch is a leading international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing ocean governance through increased transparency. Founded in 2015 through a collaboration between Oceana, SkyTruth, and Google, GFW became an independent non-profit organization in June 2017. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, we create and publicly share map visualizations, data, and analysis tools to facilitate scientific research and drive a transformation in how we manage our ocean. Our primary focus is on commercial fishing, as it is the most widespread human activity at sea, the most impactful on ocean health, and the most crucial for global livelihoods and food security. By 2030, we aim to monitor and visualize the impact of ocean-going vessels, both industrial and small-scale, responsible for the vast majority of the global seafood catch.
