Based on World Bank data, green land mass delineates a low or lower middle income nation and purple land mass delineates a higher-income nation. The same classifications are applied to a fishing vessel’s flag state. Apparent fishing effort in hours is separated based on the income group classification of flag states. a Fishing effort by vessels flagged to lower-income states in 2019. b Fishing effort by vessels flagged to higher-income nations. All fishing effort data is obtained from Global Fishing Watch’s AIS classification data. Mapping by Gabrielle Carmine.
