FishMan_2022
Earth Observation data and techniques for fisheries management
Fishing vessel traffic data derived from Automatic Identification System (AIS) has become an essential component for building fisheries intelligence. Enforce and related fisheries management strategies rely on such information to curb illegal fishing, plan and implement policies for the sustainability of marine living resources.
Fisheries managers and enforcers require specialized skills to processes the large volume of positional, navigational and voyage related information embedded in AIS data. Open-source programming software such as Python has lots of third-party modules for building packages and functions. This makes Python an asset for the creation of customized data processing, analyses and visualization to support in making informed decisions in the management of natural resources.
This training course will provide participants an understanding of the movement of fishing vessels and skills in processing AIS data.
