REAL-WORLD IMPACT
Empowering Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with Automated Marine Mammal Detection
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) play a critical role in biodiversity regeneration and combating climate change. With 8.1% of the world’s oceans already designated as MPAs and over 100 countries committed to protecting 30% of global oceans by 2030, the need for active monitoring across more than 108 million km² is paramount.
Whale Seeker’s AI-driven tools work hand-in-hand with biologists and government agencies to efficiently monitor and protect marine mammals across vast, remote regions. Recognized as Good Practice in the Marine Mammals Management Toolkit, our solutions offer:
-
Standardized data for effective management:precise, multi-temporal population comparisons to improve MPA management strategies.
-
Impact assessment and climate resiliency: Clear insights into the effects of human activities and climate change as well as long-term data on marine migration, species health, and ecosystem sustainability to support targeted conservation efforts.
-
Global environmental monitoring and detailed coastal assessments: comprehensive detections from the Last Ice Area to Antarctica including an evaluation of ice, snow, soil, and rock cover
-
Detection capabilities: detect marine megafauna, predation events, and animal tracks or nests
Our tools provide trusted, actionable data to support effective conservation and environmental management strategies for small to large cetaceans, pinnipeds, penguins, polar bears, penguins, sharks and more.
