AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
Global Fishing Watch provides daily data on fishing effort (hours of activity) and vessel presence (hours per square km) by flag state and gear type.
-
WRI's FORMA (Forest Monitoring for Action) alerts and related datasets are no longer being updated in favor of Terra-i and GLAD, which offer improved forest monitoring capabilities within the Global Forest Watch platform.
-
FORMA datasets included alerts, raw outputs (FIRMS, NDVI), alert thresholds, and vegetation t-statistics, all focused on deforestation monitoring.

FORMA Alert Thresholds
NOTE from WRI: WRI decided to stop updating FORMA alerts. The goal was to simplify the Global Forest Watch user experience and reduce redundancy. We found that Terra-i and GLAD were more frequently used. Moreover, using GLAD as a standard, found that Terra-i outperformed FORMA … daily deforestation fire forest forma gfw -

GFW (Global Fishing Watch) Daily Fishing Hours
Fishing effort, measured in hours of inferred fishing activity. Each asset is the effort for a given flag state and day, with one band for the fishing activity of each gear type. See sample Earth Engine scripts. Also see the main GFW site for program … fishing gfw marine monthly ocean oceans -
