ETHICS AND SUSTAINABILITY.

Bridging the gap between profitability and sustainability with the highest ethical standards for both technology and business practices.

How we can help

CONSULTANCY


Fast, reliable image processing with AI-powered Möbius allows environmental consulting firms to expand the frequency and scope of monitoring projects.

Humans get tired scanning thousands of images and introduce biases, which leads to wasted time and costly mistakes.

We offer standardized, automated, auditable detection which reduces human bias, allowing experts to focus on what they do best: interpreting results and making recommendations.

Möbius easily integrates into existing workflows and shoulders the grunt work of data processing, while keeping humans in the loop.

ENERGY & TRANSPORT


Helping maritime industries comply with regulatory or value-driven sustainability objectives by providing superior monitoring technology.

Industries face increasing regulations concerning ship speeds, noise, construction, and geological surveys in the presence whales. We provide operators with the tools they need to work within these laws while still meeting their objectives efficiently and effectively.

Whale Seeker is partnered with Green Marine to help ships and ports track and reduce harm to whales and preserving their natural carbon sequestration services.

POLICY & WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT


Whale detection for evidence-based creation and management of marine protected areas.

Quickly and accurately track marine megafauna populations — from whales to polar bears to whale sharks to dugongs — over vast and remote areas.

By widening the bottleneck of data processing, recent surveys can be better leveraged for dynamic maritime policy and management.

INNOVATORS


Whale Seeker is always looking to collaborate with other innovators to develop custom solutions for marine industries and the blue economy.

We are working with industry disruptors to pioneer automated detection of medium-sized whales from satellite and infrared imagery, and real-time, automated whale detection from forward-facing cameras.

We offer deep expertise in machine vision development, marine mammal ecology, and the intersection of the two! Think we can be a part of your solution? We would love to hear from you.

Helping reach sustainability goals and beyond

How Whale Seeker can help reach goals related to biodiversity, net-zero emissions, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting, and climate.

What they are saying about us

“Despite these incredibly useful tools, ethics remain a major concern in AI, especially when it comes to marketing a company at the forefront of AI development. Whale Seeker maintains that their products are to be used for good.”

The McGill Tribune

“Seeing a whale, says Tissier, is emotional and powerful for people. Their excitement comes in pairing that magic with their technological innovation, through Bertrand’s decade of experience studying how these whales move to their AI solution developed by Gagné-Turcotte.”

Montreal in Technology

“L’entreprise en démarrage utilise et raffine ses algorithmes afin d’accélérer ses analyses pour des clients comme Pêches et Océans Canada ou des firmes d’évaluation d’impacts environnementaux. En parallèle, elle poursuit le décompte à la main pour confirmer les résultats avec une méthode éprouvée.”
