Static website for the AISViz project, a research initiative at Dalhousie University focused on making Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel-tracking data accessible through open-source tools.
The site is served by GitHub Pages at https://aisviz.cs.dal.ca (custom
domain configured in CNAME). Every push to main deploys automatically, so no workflow or build
step is involved.

No build step is required. Open index.html directly in a browser, or serve the directory
locally:
python3 -m http.server 8000Then visit http://localhost:8000.
