Global Fishing Watch remote jobs and company guide

At the heart of what we do is a culture of transparency and collaboration, as we strive for a healthy, productive, and resilient ocean. Global Fishing Watch (GFW) is dedicated to safeguarding our oceans through the empowerment of individuals, communities, and governments worldwide by providing groundbreaking technologies and relevant data about maritime activities. Our mission is to advance ocean governance by sharing knowledge that enables fair and sustainable usage of ocean resources. Established in 2015 through a partnership between Oceana, SkyTruth, and Google, we have grown to become a leading force in advocating for marine transparency.

Through our innovative mapping platform, Global Fishing Watch provides free access to near real-time data on industrial fishing activities. We utilize satellite imagery and machine learning to develop actionable insights that enhance our understanding of human impact on marine ecosystems. Our work is aimed at tackling illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, thereby supporting responsible and sustainable practices. By connecting scientific research with practical policy implementation, we aim not only to protect biodiversity but also to support the livelihoods that depend on healthy fisheries. We believe that transparency is key to effective ocean governance and aspire to be the go-to resource for information on fishing activities worldwide.
