For months, we've worked on an app to monitor fishing in UK's Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The UK claims to be a leader in marine conservation, yet plenty of "protected areas" remain open to destructive fishing. With a grant from the @earthjournalism.bsky.social, we finally did it. 🧵👇

We’re launching the Earth Rover Program - trying to make geophysics actually usable for farmers. That means tackling the ridiculous price of equipment and opening up a global, easy-to-use dataset so anyone, anywhere around the globe, can understand what’s happening under their feet.
