ANNOUNCEMENTS

Our team published a peer-reviewed article about Möbius, our AI whale detection solution, in Frontiers in Marine Sciences. We found that Möbius outputs shows significant agreement with human observers, and saves up to biologists 97% of annotation time!

Whale Seeker has been awarded a $529,000 contract with Innovative Solutions Canada. We will be testing and scaling Möbius, our AI-powered system for visual whale detection. We are collaborating with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to process 100,000 images from recent and historic aerial surveys, including from the Last Ice Area.

Whale Seeker, Edgewise Environmental, and Black Bawks are joining forces to make waves in marine conservation. We are thrilled to announce this collaborative project and advancement of marine conservation efforts.

The Whale Carbon Plus Project

Whale Seeker is partnering with diverse ocean stakeholders in industry, government and conservation to develop a framework for tracking the blue carbon value of whales.
