A new @PolicyPECH study on 🇨🇳's 🎣 fleet reviews its global operations, notably in 🇸🇳🇲🇷🇲🇬🇲🇺🇪🇨🇸🇧, and the challenges it poses to competing 🇪🇺 fleets.

The study sets the tone for a forthcoming @Europarl_EN report on the impacts of 🇨🇳's fleet on 🇪🇺🎣.

.@PolicyPECH highlights that 🇨🇳's fleet - the world's biggest - operates globally and drives #overfishing, environmental destruction & human rights abuse.

The fleet profits unfairly from illegality, a lack of transparency & data gaps as our report shows:

.@PolicyPech reports that the 🇪🇺 can encourage 🇨🇳 towards regulating its fleet.

But this is possible only if the 🇪🇺@EU_Mare can lead by example and be credible when it promotes #transparency.

KEY: In what areas is the #PRC under Xi willing to accommodate the US?
•To make the first move in doing so?
•Can anyone name one specific example?

Moreover, in the #PRC under #Xi, is there anything like an equivalent to this high-profile conference @Harvard, w a concluding panel on the subject of “Toward Coexistence 2.0: What Should #CHINA Do?”

Our new paper in @ScienceAdvances takes the first global view of location hiding in commercial fisheries. We find strong ties between location hiding and illegal activities #IUU, proving a new tool to police the wild west of our open oceans. 1/6

Our team analyzed nearly 4 billion AIS messages from 2017-19 to isolate intentional disabling (instances when a vessel purposely turned its AIS off) from gaps caused by technical issues like poor satellite reception. Access the dataset here: shorturl.at/dfjW8 2/6
We found that nearly 6% of global fishing vessel activity is obscured by location hiding – over 4.9 million hours! We broke location hiding out by gear type and flag state to understand who location hides the most, and where they do it. 3/6 Image
