Frequently asked questions

What methods are used to detect IUU fishing? AIS + EO/radar patterns?

Detection of IUU fishing utilizes patterns from AIS (Automatic Identification System) alongside EO (Earth Observation) imagery like radar data, combined with port records and licensing information.

How is sensitive data handled? What about anonymization?

Sensitive data, such as coordinates and timestamps, are anonymized through techniques like masking and role-based access control to protect privacy.

How can we be sure of the impact? Are counterfactual analyses used?

Counterfactual analysis is employed to assess potential impacts by simulating scenarios before and after interventions, providing a more robust evaluation.

What are open data sources like? Databases/formats/documentation?

Open data sources include curated databases, standardized file formats, and comprehensive documentation for easy access and understanding.
