Diving into SEAPEN: Unveiling Innovation for Ocean Health

We're excited to introduce SEAPEN - Subaquatic Ecosystem Analysis and Population Estimation Network. Led by Atticus Carter and Kristine Prado-Casillas, our team of biological oceanography undergraduates is pushing boundaries with cutting-edge TensorFlow models.

At SEAPEN, we're actively addressing four monumental climate challenges: coral reef health, unsustainable fisheries, oceanic debris, and blue carbon ecosystem collapse. Our instance segmentation technology provides precision in quantifying marine environments, empowering researchers, citizen scientists, and institutions. Learn more about how SEAPEN addresses these problems here:

Coral Reef Bleaching: A Precision Approach to Restoration

Coral reef bleaching is a critical issue affecting our oceans. SEAPEN addresses this challenge with unparalleled precision through instance segmentation technology. Our models assess coral health and bleaching percentage, providing quantitative data crucial for policy advocacy and conservation efforts. SEAPEN stands as a guardian for these fragile ecosystems, ensuring their restoration and sustainable existence.

Unsustainable Fisheries: Revolutionizing Management Practices

Unsustainable fisheries pose a global crisis, impacting marine ecosystems and coastal communities. SEAPEN revolutionizes management practices by offering intelligent tracking and assessment tools. Estimating stock population size and conducting health analyses, our technology supports responsible fishing practices, fostering the abundance of fish stocks and securing livelihoods. SEAPEN is not just a solution; it's a commitment to the long-term health of our oceans.

Oceanic Debris: Real-Time Detection for Effective Mitigation

Oceanic debris poses a pervasive threat to marine life. SEAPEN's cutting-edge detection and monitoring systems offer real-time insights into the location and magnitude of debris. Leveraging a vast database of images, our technology identifies and manages debris efficiently. SEAPEN empowers environmental monitoring efforts, mitigating the impact of oceanic debris and contributing to a healthier marine environment.

Blue Carbon Ecosystem Collapse: Preserving Vital Carbon Sinks

The collapse of blue carbon ecosystems has far-reaching consequences for our planet. SEAPEN stands as a proactive solution, quantifying and monitoring these vital carbon sinks. With our instance segmentation technology, we provide insights into blue carbon ecosystems, supporting efforts to preserve and sustain these critical components of our environment. SEAPEN is not just a tool; it's a commitment to safeguarding our planet's carbon balance.
