⚓ NEW PUBLICATION! Thrilled that the first paper of the Scottish Vessel Project is now published in Marine Policy showing how AIS data only represents ~40% of coastal vessel traffic around Scotland. 🚤 Why is this important? Read below: 👇⛴ 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...
A map of Scotland and the North Atlantic, showing density of vessel tracking data (also known as AIS data), which highlights areas in red where there are a lot of AIS vessels and blue where there are less. The map shows coastal Scottish waters are very busy (i.e. coloured red) with AIS traffic.
