Lacey Malarky, an Oceana campaign manager on illegal fishing and transparency, monitors the GPS position of a fishing boat in the Atlantic ocean from her computer at the headquarters of the NGO Oceana on June 10, 2019 in Washington, DC. - From her desk in a building in downtown Washington, Lacey Malarky monitors fishing vessels that take advantage of the vastness of Earth's oceans to cheat in the belief that no one is watching. Malarky uses a website called Global Fishing Watch, which was launched by her employer, the NGO Oceana, with Google and a nonprofit called SkyTruth less than three years ago to trace where 70,000 fishing vessels have sailed since 2012.
