Taking a Different Tack
To reverse fish stock decline, we’re using advanced technologies and data to provide global visibility into maritime activity. We’re also working to advance policy, advocacy, and awareness of Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) issues and impacts.
Skylight
Through advanced machine learning, best-in-class vessel data, and robust satellite-based analytics, Skylight provides near real-time data visualizations and alerts of maritime activity to aid in the identification of suspicious vessel behavior, including illegal fishing. It’s instrumental in the management of marine protected areas and the enforcement of fishing policies and regulations.

"Ocean Warriors" and "Chasing the Thunder"
Through compelling filmmaking, we bring to life the breadth of illegal marine activity, the lengths bad actors will go to, and the challenge of enforcing laws on the high seas. These films promote the need for more robust national enforcement of international fishing laws.

"Drop in the Ocean"
This interactive, social, virtual-reality experience immerses you deep in the water — and directly into the plastic pollution crisis plaguing the world’s oceans. The seven-minute-long experience is built from the photo archive of Academy Award-winning micro-photographer Peter Parks and narrated by explorers Philippe and Ashlan Cousteau. It “shrinks” participants to two inches tall and takes them for a ride on the back of a jellyfish floating through the ocean as it passes other marine creatures to show the ocean’s plastic crisis up close.
