Whale Safe: How Acoustic Detection, Whale Modeling and Sighting Data is Used to Protect Endangered Whales

Whale Safe is a real-time whale detection and warning system that uses acoustic modeling, blue whale modeling, and sightings to predict daily whale presence ratings. The system sends out alerts via Twitter, emails, and APIs to the shipping industry and boaters, helping to reduce the number of whale strikes and improve overall safety for both the whales and the boaters. The Whale Safe system uses a variety of data sources, including underwater acoustic sensors and visual sightings, to detect and track whale movements. The system is powered by sophisticated acoustic modeling algorithms, which allow it to accurately predict the presence of whales in a given area.
