Ninety-two percent of global shipping traffic overlaps with blue, fin, and humpback whale ranges, yet strike data is sparse. From the surface we can’t see the ecosystem below - but we can hear it. Passive acoustic monitoring reveals ecological health and could provide an early warning system for dangerous whale-ship encounters, however these enormous troves of raw data are difficult to parse through or gain insight from. From ~80,000 Hours of Raw Recordings How might we better understand the marine ecosystem and visualize the impact of human activity on marine life? We built an interactive experience and trained a custom machine-learning classifier to transforms raw audio and sparse detections into detailed, second-by-second identifications of marine and human sounds. ‍ SEE THE LIVE EXPERIENCE However, noise from ships and seal bomb explosions (used for fishing) overlap with these frequencies, interfering with their ability to navigate, find food, and communicate. By monitoring the
