Can someone find something better so we can do a class action lawsuit for deceit?

#12"Advances in AI and satellite imagery allowed researchers to create the clearest picture yet of human activity at sea" Can someone find something better so we can do a class action lawsuit for deceit?
No, for various reasons including "you don't have standing in 99.5% of the world's courts", "most countries don't have legal systems where you can do class action lawsuits"[0], and "what exactly is the thing you're saying has caused you a loss here anyway, large numbers of individuals collectively failing to tell their designated authorities that they were fishing, or those authorities not making this information easily available to the international community?"
[0] Apparently. I'm not a lawyer, I'm just going with what this says: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/class-action/why-most-nations-... and some even fuzzier between-the-lines reading of the wikipedia page, and that combination is a game-of-telephone disaster if ever there was one…

#14But can we trust the hallucinations of the “AI”?
We're not talking about putting the pictures into ChatGPT here. Anyway, from their tests using standard CNN practices: "Our best model achieved on the test set an F1 score of 0.97 (accuracy = 97.5%) for the classification task and a R2 score of 0.84 (RMSE = 21.9 m, or about 1 image pixel) for the length-estimation task."
no - enhanced resolution is very iffy and subject to gaming etc
secondly, there is no perfect way to measure accuracy of remote sensing for many reasons

They're tracking a vessel over time, though. Surely any errors and inaccuracies are negated over a long enough time horizon.

#17This is good research but the hinting that turning off AIS is from ill intent with fishing is not universally true. I have lived and worked on Alaskan fishing boats on and off for a while now. Most people turn off AIS or don't run it at all so they don't reveal their fishing spots to other vessels.
This is going to be an ongoing hurdle for most fisheries if more complete tracking is the goal.
