Recently, @simularity, a US-based geospatial #artificialintelligence company, published a report alleging fishermen's shits destroyed the #SouthChinaSea, based on chlorophyll a analysis.
Does its allegation hold the water? In fact, chlorophyll a is everywhere at sea. To understand how chlorophyll a usually looks like in the sea, we start with @sentinel 2a satellite images.
Chlorophyll a can be seen everywhere on the sea surface, and chlorophyll a will accumulate around certain long-term suspended floating objects.
