Can AI driven data save our whales? Emily Charry Tissier, Co-Founder Whale Seeker
Q: What problem is Whale Seeker trying to solve?
Whale Seeker addresses a critical data gap in marine biology by providing AI-assisted, scalable data processing to detect and classify marine mammals from aerial, satellite, and acoustic data, enabling faster and more accurate assessments of population health and habitat use.
Citizen Scientists, a Whole Lot of Data, and a Whole Lot of Fun. Mead Kraka, REEF
Q: What impact do these citizen science efforts have on reef conservation and local economies?
The data helps track introductions and population trends, supports management decisions, and the lionfish removal programs, including derbies, help protect reef health and sustain tourism and fishing economies in places like the Florida Keys.
Citizen Scientists, a Whole Lot of Data, and a Whole Lot of Fun. Mead Kraka, REEF
Q: Can you explain how citizen scientists are trained and how the data quality is maintained in Reef's programs?
Anyone can submit a survey starting at level one, and the data is checked by staff experts who verify species identifications and even ask for photos if a species appears very rarely; progression to higher levels requires passing species tests with high accuracy.
