By harnessing Skylight's state-of-the-art AI and first-class analytics, those protecting our seas can quickly identify and respond to illicit fishing activities, enabling more effective enforcement efforts and safeguarding marine ecosystems for future generations.
Uncover patterns and detect anomalies with AI-driven analysis
Minimal delay and automatic alerts provide an early warning system
Skylight’s API streamlines connections, boosting efficiency and data access
User-friendly with no special hardware, maximizing cost-effectiveness for conservation
Skylight visualizes what’s happening at sea to enhance decision-making and exploration using state-of-the-art AI built in-house by our team and collaborators at Ai2.
Unlock the power of Skylight with our cutting-edge AI. From terabytes of satellite imagery to 100M AIS messages read daily, we deliver real-time global insights. Our award-winning and industry-leading technology is open-source, fostering collaboration and enabling others to leverage our work for their own missions.
Skylight utilizes a blend of free data sources such as Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Landsat 8-9, and Night Lights, along with commercial partners like Maxar and Spire.
This data mix allows us to offer unparalleled insights into vessel behavior, which we refer to as Events. By working today for tomorrow’s challenges, we are continuously exploring new and emerging data types to integrate.
The Automated Identification System (AIS) provides near real-time data to help analysts quickly identify and focus on events. Our AIS source is from Spire, the world’s largest multipurpose satellite constellation.
Leveraging publicly available satellite data from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the European Space Agency (ESA), our data can identify potential vessels evading detection and those operating at night.
Our partnership with Maxar Technologies allows us to further aid enforcement efforts by tasking high-resolution imagery based on specific behavior identified through the platform, provide support for patrol or operations, and request additional vessel detections.
Vessel data, encompassing vital details like gear type and ownership information sourced from AIS data and Global Fishing Watch, improves monitoring and analysis.
