        abstract = {This paper presents a method to discover fishing areas from Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. AIS provides dynamic vessel movement information, originally for collision avoidance. This study analyzes vessel trajectories to detect fishing stops and applies density-based clustering (DBSCAN) to map fishing regions. Results show that the approach effectively identifies fishing activity zones, supporting fisheries management and combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.},
