Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Despite being a global, publicly shared resource, there is little transparency about what takes place across the ocean—especially when it comes to fishing on the high seas. Vessel tracking is a key method to understanding this activity, but Global Fishing Watch has revealed that about 75 percent of industrial fishing vessels do not appear in public monitoring systems. At Global Fishing Watch, we believe that transparency—making information available and accessible to everyone it affects—is crucial to good ocean governance. We urge all States to support the establishment of a binding agreement that requires fishing vessels operating outside of their flag State’s waters to be publicly tracked. Such an agreement should be based on transparency, allowing vessel tracking data to be shared beyond just governments.
