This team previously developed AI-based software products for separate projects in the Pacific (CCZ) and tropical north Atlantic Ocean (seafloor habitat classification and species detection and classification). For this project, they will refactor the two workflows into one open-source code base that is adapted for a working area in the Indian Ocean where the development of a new nuclear reactor has been proposed. The project seeks to utilize AI and the conservation community to produce a comprehensive ecological mapping that will assist the Uyombo community to protect their clean and healthy environment, their socioeconomic rights, and their cultural rights.
