The Ocean Project and The IWC
The OCEAN Project is pleased to announce that Capt. Aly Elsayed, AFNI, Senior Technical Advisor at The Nautical Institute, a partner of the OCEAN project, has been recognised as a member of the International Whaling Commission: Vessel-Whales Strike Working Group (IWC).
The OCEAN Project employs advanced technology, such as satellite imagery, AI, hydrophones, and a user-friendly app to identify the location of whales and alert vessels of all sizes to protect them. Such protection helps the whales and supports the planet’s sustainability.
Unfortunately, ships strike whales on rare occasions, are a burden no seafarer wants. By better understanding whale behaviour and being alerted to their locations through the OCEAN Project techniques, we hope that whale strikes can be avoided and whales can continue to be celebrated for generations.
