Automated marine mammal detection to mitigate vessel strikes and noise impact
Allowing you to go about your business with peace of mind—so they can go about theirs
The ocean is big.
There’s room for everyone.
So why does it sometimes feel small?
Avoid marine mammal strikes with ease and confidence with WhaleSpotter’s onboard detection and alert solution.
UNMATCHED ACCURACY
Human-verified for zero false-positive alerts, guaranteed
FIELD-VALIDATED SCIENCE
Based on decades of scientific research, proven by 100,000+ detections
LONG-RANGE DETECTION
Marine mammals detected and verified up to 4 NM/7KM
Don’t leave strike detection up to chance.
Take the guesswork out of steering clear of our nautical neighbors with WhaleSpotter’s high-sensitivity thermal imaging and automated detection solution.
HOW IT WORKS
1: SIMPLE INSTALLATION
In under an hour, outfit your vessel with our thermal vision technology—no drydock needed.
2: START LOOKING
Infrared radiation and color vision get to work identifying spouts and body heat from marine mammals up to 4 NM/7 KM away.
3: VERIFY
AI computer vision is verified in real time by a real person, preventing false positives so that operators stay focused on what matters.
WhaleSpotter’s technology works on vessels of all sizes, ranging from intercoastal ferries to the largest container ships.
Based on 15+ years of research and development at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and with 100,000+ verified detections and counting, we’re on a mission to enable vessels and marine mammals to coexist safely and peacefully.
