Global Fishing Watch uses publicly broadcast AIS signals to track fishing vessels. On the Global Fishing Watch heat map, every lighted point represents a fishing vessel. The blue points are vessels detected through AIS. The green points represent nearly 5,000 additional vessels revealed through Indonesia's government Vessel Monitoring System. This data has never been made available to the public before now.
