Ever heard of underwater drones? These incredible devices are transforming fisheries and aquaculture by helping us to monitor fish, water quality, and equipment in areas too tricky or dangerous for humans. They're making fish farming safer and more efficient. 🐠🔍 🎥 Check out the full video to learn more and see these underwater drones in action! #COFI36 #BlueTransformation

Drones may still be on the radar for delivery, but where they’re really taking off is in surveying and inspection! 🛸 Here’s another exciting example—using drones to monitor and protect endangered or at-risk species. These flying helpers are making a real impact in conservation efforts! Where do you think drones will pop up next? 🚁 Share your thoughts!

Technology is key to understanding how nature is impacted by human activity. Drones equipped with infrared and optical cameras, and spotlights open "our eyes" with greater accuracy of *shy* wildlife on the ground and in the trees. Accurate data is essential to make informed data-driven decisions that are nature positive. WWF-Australia #regeneratenature #inclusiveconservation #greatergliders #forests #logging #zeroextinctions

If you can see them … you can save them !!! The use of hi tech thermal sensors on our Ripper Drones has highlighted the critical impact logging has had on the endangered Greater Glider in New South Wales. Concerned community groups have banded together to bring in Ripper Corp hi tech drones to save endangered Greater Gliders. We worked with traditional ground survey methods and compared them to the Ripper drone survey findings, with an 85% greater accuracy. The commencement of logging in Styx River State Forest and Bulga State Forest has highlighted the failings of the Forestry Corporation greater glider survey program and the risks of ongoing logging to the endangered Greater Glider. Ripper Corporation is dedicated to working with community and business to honestly survey wildlife in an effort to preserve our country's amazing bio diversity. Ripper Corp is one of the few highly specialised Drone wildlife survey companies with infrared sensors and infrared lasers that can track & survey endangered wildlife in remote & harsh locations. #rippercorp #dronesurvey #infrared #savethegliders #greatergliders #dronesforgood #wwf #biodiversity #stoplogging #wildlifedrones #australia #littleripper

🔔 Innovations in Sustainable Fishing! 🔔 We are revolutionizing fishing with cutting-edge technologies: #ghostfishing, #smartlinks, #whaledetectionbydrone, and #seafoodtraceability, under #Fishing4_0. In harmony with #AmbitiondesocéansduCanada, we are making fishing more responsible and eco-friendly. Smart links reduce ghost fishing and our drones protect marine biodiversity. Seafood traceability ensures quality and responsibility. The smart link, funded by Axelys (https://lnkd.in/e23wt_sQ), with the support of MEIE, is essential. Our cutting-edge solutions and ready-to-deploy products, including AI applications, are transforming fishing.

Combining YOLOv8 for detection and ByteTrack for tracking makes it possible to reliably monitor fishing activities, enabling better management of marine resources and detecting illegal fishing operations. This solution applies to satellite imagery, drones, and coastal surveillance systems, enhancing sustainability efforts in fisheries management. Check out the real-time video below, showcasing the detection and counting of fishing boats in action, offering a clear and practical illustration of its capabilities. #OlalekanOlaluwoye #ProfMandicouBa #DrTimotheeBrochier #ProfAlassanBah #MachineLearning #YOLOv8 #ByteTrack #FisheriesManagement #AI #Sustainability

Our #drone team is on another mission to make a positive impact! We’re in Catanduanes - an exceptional spot on the Philippine map due to its exposed-to-typhoons location. 🌿 We're using UAS to map #abaca fields, crucial lifelines for local farmers and entrepreneurs, enhancing economic resilience. Our efforts also contribute to Catanduanes State University academic research initiatives. 🌱 But that's not all - our drones are surveying #mangroves, monitoring their health, assessing post-typhoon changes, and detecting potential illegal practices. Mangroves help battle climate change by storing significant amounts of carbon, besides being coastal wonders vital for storm protection, supporting diverse marine life, sustaining local fisheries, and maintaining ecological balance. #DronesForGood

USING DRONE FOOTAGE TO MAP INVASIVE SPECIES Managing the expansion of wild Pacific oysters. A new study led by Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) scientists has, for the first time, explored the use of drones and deep learning to detect, count and map Pacific oysters – an invasive species with a potent harmful impact. https://lnkd.in/dmiPdgaE
