Vessel tracking data such as Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data can provide insight into vessel movements. This data can be used to generate estimated trajectories for moving vessels and provide an excellent resource for revealing patterns of fishing activities and behavior. Vessel speed and course can be useful indicators of vessel fishing activity.
