  • Real-time Marine AI Detection with Ocean AID

    Real-time Marine AI Detection with Ocean AID
    Oct 11 2024
    Up to 70% of all ocean macro plastics are "ghost gear" — discarded, lost, or abandoned fishing gear. This poses a risk to ocean ecosystems and the communities who depend on them. Among their other projects, Victoria-based Ocean AID (https://oceanaid.ca/) has been working to help coastal communities tackle ghost gear by leveraging real-time AI to detect underwater objects to facilitate efficient, cost-effective removal. But Ocean AID is active far beyond just ghost gear—they're undertaking new projects with communities across BC to tackle underwater detection to remove pollution, improve biodiversity, and beyond. In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Polanyi, co-founder and executive director of Ocean AID (https://oceanaid.ca/) to learn all about it.
