Short summary
Trawling fisheries in the Adriatic Sea are among the most spatially intensive fishing activities in the Mediterranean, with important implications for marine ecosystems. Understanding their spatiotemporal dynamics is essential to support sustainable management. The dataset derived from vessel tracking data provides monthly information on fishing effort and distinguishes between different trawling methods, offering a valuable tool for researchers and fisheries managers.

In 2022, the new CNR research vessel Gaia Blu explored the seabed of the Naples and Pozzuoli gulfs and the Amalfi coastal area (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) from 50–2000 m water depth, covering 5000 m2 of seafloor. This paper describes data acquisition and processing and provides maps in unprecedented detail of this area affected by geological changes and human impacts. The findings support future geological and geomorphological investigations and mapping and monitoring of the seafloor and habitats.

Short summary
Short summary
Deep-sea fishery in the Mediterranean Sea was historically driven by the commercial profitability of deepwater red shrimps. Understanding spatiotemporal dynamics of fishing is key to comprehensively evaluate the status of these resources and prevent stock collapse. The observed monthly fishing effort and frequency dataset released by the automatic identification system (AIS) may help researchers as well as those involved in fishery management and in the update of existing management plans.

For the processing of geomatics data, artificial intelligence (AI) offers overwhelming opportunities. The integration of AI approaches in geomatics has developed into the concept of geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI), which is a new paradigm for geographic knowledge discovery and beyond. This contribution outlines AI-based techniques for analysing and interpreting complex geomatics data. How AI approaches have been exploited for the interpretation of geomatic data is explained.
