AI and satellite data helped uncover the ocean’s ‘dark vessels’ An unprecedented study details that over 75 percent of all industrial fishing ships don’t publicly report their whereabouts. Researchers can now access artificial intelligence analysis of global satellite imagery archives for an unprecedented look at humanity’s impact and relationship to our oceans. Led by Global Fishing Watch, a Google-backed nonprofit focused on monitoring maritime industries, the open source project is detailed in a study published January 3 in Nature. It showcases never-before-mapped industrial effects on aquatic ecosystems thanks to recent advancements in machine learning technology. The study used machine learning and satellite imagery to create the first global map of vessel traffic and offshore infrastructure, offering an unprecedented view of previously unmapped industrial use of the ocean. #Google #aitechnology #ai

Satellite images and AI help identify and manage human industrial activities across the ocean over the last five years.

There really is an AI for everything these days -- even to help potentially remove invasive fish from wetlands like The Nature Conservancy's Emiquon Preserve. This "outdoor laboratory" is working with researchers at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to add extra tools to their invasive-carp-removal toolbox--GPS-enabled kayaks and artificial intelligence. With new, innovative practices utilizing recreational grade sonar, researchers are using semi-autonomous kayaks to map Emiquon to capture detailed information about the invasive carp living there, revealing how they react to disturbances, and perhaps most importantly, where they hide -- information TNC and our partners plan to use to remove them. About four times per year over the next two years, USGS will deploy four kayaks with pre-programmed, GPS-enabled trolling motors to collect all of the data they can on the fish, which will then be analyzed using artificial intelligence. Once USGS researchers are confident in their understanding of the fishes’ behavior patterns at Emiquon, TNC will use that information to remove what they hope will be multiple semi-truckloads of invasive fish in one event, which could take place as soon as 2025. 📹 Sally McClure/TNC #AI #Technology #Conservation

Increasingly, we are seeing positive, impactful outcomes when AI is applied in scenarios which helps to further our knowledge and understanding in a particular area. One such example, is the integration of AI in oceanography. Data collection and predictive modelling are transforming our understanding of the oceans, enabling us to explore and protect marine environments more effectively. #ai #data #predictivemodelling #marineconservation

AI and satellite imagery reveal the expanding footprint of human activity at sea

Kitware's IARPA SMART team is focused on using satellite imagery to track environmental changes in near real-time. Our open source framework, GeoWATCH, enables training and deploying geospatial AI models that can have a broad impact. For example, helping scientists track man-made deforestation in remote parts of the Amazon rainforest.
