Möbius Observer

The specific problem within the 2024 Global Climate Challenge that we are working to solve is "Strengthen coastal and marine ecosystems and communities through the broader blue economy, including fisheries, clean energy, and monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV)".

Whales play an essential role in healthy ocean ecosystems, as well as the cultural heritage and economics of numerous coastal communities. Whales are long-lived carbon reservoirs that play a vital role in supplying nutrients for phytoplankton growth, which in turn absorb up to half of global CO2 emissions. Yet current whale populations represent only a small fraction of historic figures, and they face major, increasing threats from maritime activity and climate change.

There is an urgent need to reduce human-driven whale mortalities. Aerial photographic surveys are a prevalent method to monitor whale populations, but generate terabytes of data that are processed manually - an expensive, slow, and unstandardized process. This bottleneck is a significant barrier for offshore operators and managers seeking to lower the negative impacts on marine biodiversity, and makes it impossible to create accounting systems needed to incentivize responsible action and sustainable operations.

We developed our AI technology in response to a lack of scalable, standardised methods for monitoring marine mammal over vast, remote regions. We use innovative techniques to address the technical problems of AI for marine mammal detection – few, small targets within large datasets, and the difficulty of building a generalizable model that works with different species and environments.

Möbius Observer is Whale Seeker’s proprietary real-time marine mammal detection tool, harnessing the capabilities of drone surveys and AI to detect marine mammals in their natural habitats. This tool aims to reduce marine mammal vessel collisions and advance various broader objectives, including minimizing human disturbances, protecting critical habitats, enabling sustainable resource management, monitoring climate change impacts, and ensuring compliance with marine regulatory requirements.
