Missing Longitude and Latitude in Downloaded AIS Data for Research Purposes
S
Shantakar Mohanty
I am Shantakar Mohanty, a student of MSc Geoinformatics at ITC, Netherlands. I have been trying to download historical AIS data from the Global Fishing Watch portal. While I have been successful in downloading the CSV data for my study region, the downloaded data lacks the Longitude and Latitude information of the vessels. The tutorial I followed on Global Fishing Watch's YouTube channel shows that the downloaded CSV data does contain the locational information for each vessel. I downloaded the Apparent Fishing Effort AIS data with the data download criterion shown in the attached screenshot.
Please let me know how this issue can be resolved. Longitude and Latitude information is of paramount importance for my research.
