GFTS transforms how we protect our oceans and manage fisheries by streamlining the analysis and visualization of fish biologging data.
Scientists using GFTS can convert raw biologging data into fish tracks in a scalable environment. Individual tracks and group level habitat maps can be created and seamlessly integrated in the GFTS visualisation tool. Future ocean conditions in these habitats are computed based the DestinE Climate Adaptation Digital Twin.
Policy makers can visualize critical fish habitats and migration patterns with a new level of clarity. This enables evidence-based decisions on marine protected areas and sustainable fishing quotas without requiring technical expertise.
If you are a scientist with biologging data, get in touch with our team to help you get onboarded.
Process and visualize fish biologging data in combination with climate projections to improve marine conservation planning and fisheries
management under changing ocean conditions.

This tutorial provides comprehensive step-by-step guidance for navigating the Global Fish Tracking Service decision support interface on the DestinE platform. The tutorial begins with accessing the service through a web browser and introduces the initial view displaying available fish species and tagging campaigns, represented both as a species list and geographical layers on an interactive map. Users learn to select specific species for analysis and visualize quarterly fish distribution patterns intersected with DestinE Climate Digital Twin data for ocean temperature and salinity. The tutorial also demonstrates how to inspect individual fish tracks by selecting track identifiers, it shows the temperature and depth measurements of each fish tag, and animates fish movements through time on a map.
