Fever in the Ocean
The ocean has absorbed the vast majority of global warming so far, but it may be reaching a limit...
The ocean may seem vast and opaque, but open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools are changing the way we monitor it.
From tracking illegal fishing and ship movements to uncovering pollution and port activity, in a hands-on webinar, journalists learn how to harness publicly available data to shine a light on maritime activities that often escape scrutiny. Participants cover:
- Using satellite imagery and vessel-tracking platforms like AIS (automatic identification system)
- Monitoring shipping routes and flag registries
- Identifying signs of transshipment and illegal fishing
- Finding stories in environmental crime, smuggling, and maritime labor abuse
This session is for investigative journalists, environmental reporters, and data enthusiasts curious about bringing OSINT to their reporting.
