Endangered animal doesn’t just live on the ground, they also live in the sea
What it does
it's Machine-learning-powered application that helps tracking illegal hunting of endangered marine creatures like the blue wheal, Dugongs, Sharks and Turtles.
Our project Marine Savior consists of two parts
The first of them is tracking the movements of ships in real-time
There are multiple sources that provide such information in real-time
This is called AIS(Automatic Identification System)
All ships have to transmit their location and name via radio signals using the AIS systems
Poachers also do transmit their AIS data because if they didn't do so they might be stopped by marine police as an unknown ship.
The second part is tracking endangered marine life animals
we can do this in two ways
move bank is non-profitable websites that provide tracking data for different animals around the world
we can use its API to create tracks and heat maps representing the animal movements.
we can also build our own protected areas based on information about the animal such as where it hunts its food, Seasonal breeder location, migration path or location of natural reserves, and so on.
All this information can be found at worldwildlife.org
so now we have two maps.
A map showing ship movements
And a map showed places where the animal usually be
Our Machine learning model will detect abnormal sail movement in the protected areas and automatically inform local authorities about it
This web app will track unusual vessel movements in protected places where rare animals live, indicating an illegal fishing
