about
FishLAT is a GIS-based tool to predict how the removal, addition, or conversion of an offshore energy structure could impact fisheries.
Why it matters
Offshore energy development has led to the installation of thousands of oil and gas platforms throughout the world’s oceans. Over time, many of these structures have developed into thriving reef ecosystems that provide critical habitat for commercially and recreationally valuable species, support jobs, and contribute to the global fishing industry.
How it works
FishLAT’s web-based platform is supported by a suite of predictive models that quantify how offshore energy structures impact fisheries. Learn more at www.FishLAT.com.
