Each buoy carries an onboard computer that records whale sounds using an underwater microphone. An AI algorithm then detects the clicks and squeals of specific whale species before transmitting the data via satellite every two hours, where a scientist will review the software’s results to check the whale sounds are being correctly identified.
The location of the animals is then calculated by analyzing water conditions and local records of whale sightings. If a ship is located within the calculated path of the animals, a notification can be issued to warn the crew.
