Protecting Our Ocean's Giants
WhaleCast empowers boaters to make informed decisions that reduce the risk of vessel strikes, safeguarding marine life through innovative ocean forecasting technology.
The Problem
Shipping accounts for roughly 80% of global trade. Marine Traffic will only continue to increase into the future. As a result, accidental collisions between whales and vessels (“vessel strikes”) are becoming more common.
Our Solution
WhaleCast offers an innovative approach that uses machine learning, analytics, and cloud computing to generate risk forecasts. For the first time, this technology empowers boaters to make informed decisions about where and when to navigate safely.
Advanced Technology
Our ocean forecasting technology integrates multiple data sources and advanced analytics to identify high-risk areas for whale-vessel collisions. Previous solutions like aerial surveys, satellite tags, and on-board detection devices are expensive and limited in scope.
