University of California: Study Finds Fishing Fleet Movement can Reveal Shifts in Marine Ecosystems
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have already leveraged the vast troves of geolocation data from vessel-tracking systems to pinpoint where whales and other large marine species are endangered by ship traffic and industrial fishing.
Now, in a new study led by Heather Welch at UC Santa Cruz's Institute of Marine Sciences, researchers show how the geolocation data generated by satellites for the global Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) can reveal where marine heatwaves are affecting the behavior of...
