<br />I noticed that in the Canadian ICES platform codes, 18 Canadian codes correspond to lighthouses but are wrongly assigned to “fishing vessel”:
<br />
<br />The Canadian government has been measuring water temperature and salinity at several fixed coastal locations, including lighthouses, since 1914; data are available from a Canadian website.
<br />
<br />Furthermore, I found 24 additional ICES platform codes from the USA, Finland and Norway with “F/S” in the name, and they seem to correspond to lighthouses as well, but they (most if not all) are assigned to “fishing vessel”
