This repo contains the code, figures and data used in our article Who will be caught in the net? An unsung story on the ecological impact of fishing and aquaculture.
We tackled the problem of fishing and its impact on the world ecosystem analyzing open data such as the FAO database.
Our article won the Data driven competition hosted by Camplus.
