About Program:
This 3-day hands-on workshop focuses on the application of AI for marine ecosystem monitoring, resource management, and conservation efforts. Participants will learn to use satellite data, oceanographic sensors, and machine learning techniques to monitor biodiversity, predict oceanic patterns, manage fisheries, and optimize the sustainability of marine protected areas (MPAs). Practical exercises will include preprocessing marine data, developing predictive models for ocean phenomena and fishing zones, and creating decision-support tools for conservation management.
Aim: To equip participants with the skills to apply AI and machine learning for marine ecosystem monitoring, sustainable fishing practices, and effective marine conservation area management.
Program Objectives:
- Understand AI applications in marine biodiversity monitoring, coral reefs, and ecosystem health.
- Learn how AI can optimize resource allocation and management for fisheries and conservation.
- Analyze marine data from various sources (satellite data, oceanographic sensors) for ecosystem analysis.
- Build machine learning models to predict oceanic phenomena and sustainable fishing zones.
- Apply AI to manage marine protected areas (MPAs), track biodiversity, and improve conservation strategies.
- Develop decision-support tools using AI to inform policy and manage marine ecosystems sustainably.
