Happy Day! We are celebrating all that our oceans have done for us and will continue to do by supporting measures that protect them. Are you in for a fun Earth Day challenge? Whales were detected during a sea trial in the Georgia Strait by our JASCO Applied Sciences Ltd. hydrophone. Turn up your volume and listen closely to the audio. Can you guess which whale is making the call?... JASCO has been assessing underwater acoustic data since 1981. With their technology, we are able to detect a range of species in the open ocean. Let us know whom you think is making the call in the comments below! #EarthDay2021 #EarthDayChallenge #whales

Our latest USV being trialed in preparation for our MPA project. #BehindTheSeas Last month saw significant advances in both our technology and team. We've nearly completed our USV in preparation for our demonstration in detecting illegal fishing in Marine Protection Areas (MPAs) and look forward to conducting the pilot soon. Working closely with Vineyard Wind and others, we've created the work plan to develop our USV to detect North Atlantic Right Whales.... #oceanprotection #dronenews #cleantech See more

Do you love whales? Well, we won the spot in the Offshore Wind Challenge to create a marine mammal monitoring solution! We get to work with Greentown Labs, Vineyard Wind, and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and we couldn't be more excited! The Challenge is to create autonomous technology that can operate throughout all phases of the project, from development to operations, to ensure the protection and conservation of marine species and the environment, as well as the respon...sible development and operation of offshore wind facilities in Massachusetts and beyond.
