Abstract
I am analyzing Automatic Identification System (AIS) data from exactEarth over
a period of 3 months (January to March of 2016) and AIS data from NASA over a period
of 6 months (December 2016 to April 2017) to document whether it is possible to detect
and how fishing vessels operating in the GoM are changing their areas of operations,
hypothesizing that this is a proxy for changing fisheries locations. The AIS data will be
compared with historical records compiled by Love et al., 2013 as part of the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill to assess changes over periods as long as decades.
