Data & All the Little Fishes That Swim in the Sea

Interesting article from +james m connolly about efforts by +Google Analytics, +SkyTruth  and Oceana who together form +Global Fishing Watch. I agree with him completely - it relies on everyone having an Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) in order to map their location but that is not likely so whilst those that have one know they are being watched anyone that does not have one has a carte blanche to go into areas the others can't in order to fish.  Great idea just issues with the execution.
