Help w/fishing vessel traffic FL Keys

[brittdavis36]

I work for a wildlife center in the FL Keys. Someone has been militating our pelicans. We’ve had to humanely euthanize all four. As per this news article this is a pattern with commercial fishing vessels and shrimpers https://www.wral.com/news/state/brown-pelicans-intentional-injuries-commercial-fishing-dec-2025/. Is there anyway to see which fishing vessels were off Big pine key FL Oceanside on the dates of 12/6, 12/16, 12/21, 12/25. Would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you

We personally do not keep tracking history for locations. The only way we know of to view historical tracks, is if you are tracking/searching for a specific ship. If you don't know the ship(s) in the area at that time it will not work. Most places that offer ship tracking history, further out than the last couple days, usually cost also.

MarineTraffic.com offers various paid plans to view ship track history (Essential: 7 days, Enterprise: up to 5 years). This would allow you to playback historical ship routes.
