What would full transparency in fisheries actually look like? As Krizia Matthews, senior manager of international policy at Global Fishing Watch, explains, it starts with knowing who is behind every vessel — not just those already linked to illegal activity. On the high seas, where oversight is limited, this kind of visibility is critical. Combined with tools like AIS and VMS, full transparency helps build a clearer picture of what’s happening at sea, from vessel movements to interactions across fleets. 🎥 Filmed on the ground at the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation conference in Panama.
