AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
WRI has stopped updating FORMA alerts to simplify the Global Forest Watch user experience and reduce redundancy.
-
Terra-i and GLAD alerts were more frequently used and Terra-i was found to outperform FORMA alerts when using GLAD as a standard.
-
The datasets include FORMA Alert Thresholds, FORMA Alerts, FORMA Raw Output (FIRMS and NDVI), and FORMA Vegetation T-Statistics.
-
Global Fishing Watch (GFW) datasets provide daily fishing hours and daily vessel hours, measured in hours of inferred activity or presence per square km respectively, categorized by flag state and gear type.

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