Testing a YOLO-based computer vision model to ID 13 benthic species from underwater images. It boosts automated species recognition, aiding large-scale biodiversity monitoring & better marine conservation. @azti.bsky.social #AI4Oceans #BenthicEcology #MarineScience #BioBoost+

🚨 Presented at #ICESASC2025! Igor Granado shared how #ComputerVision is transforming #benthicEcosystems habitat mapping in the Bay of Biscay. Big thanks to all collaborators & inspiring ocean scientists at @icesmarine.bsky.social 🌊 More via www.linkedin.com/posts/igorgr... @azti.bsky.social

🚨 New from the #BioBoost+ team: 67% of industrial fishing in coastal MPAs goes untracked. 🎣 Satellite imagery + GPS data = urgent wakeup call for enforcement. 📰 Read the Science paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #MPAs #OceanScience #UntrackedFishing

Interesting #summerschool25

First morning of the #SummerSchool25 organisef by @drangelborja.bsky.social ending beautifully at the Donostia Aquarium with @skatsanevakis.bsky.social presenting the new project @guardias.bsky.social

Oh! What nice group attending our @azti.bsky.social #GES4SEAS #summerschool25 #marineecology @skatsanevakis.bsky.social @helianateixeira.bsky.social

Berta Companys, from ICM-CSIC and #ANERIS project, on how to close the biodiversity gap knowledge using #AI and #citizenscience #GES4SEAS #summerschool25

I’ve spent this spring with marine video analysis and now diving deeper at #GES4SEAS @azti.bsky.social #SummerSchool in beautiful San Sebastián 🌊 Excited to learn from experts and discuss all the possibilities in this field.

Today is #WorldEnvironmentDay2025 and we finish our @azti.bsky.social #GES4SEAS #Summerschool, that we organize each year this week, coinciding with this date and #WorldOceansDay @skatsanevakis.bsky.social @helianateixeira.bsky.social @ribas-deulofeu.bsky.social #MarineEcology #Research

The 2025 Summer School "Artificial intelligence and citizen science in monitoring and assessing biodiversity and invasive species at sea" has just started in San Sebastian. Co-organized by AZTI, #GES4SEAS, #GuardIAS, #Bioboost+, #ObamaNext, #ANERIS, and #POMP #MarineEcology

This year the school is supported by the following projects: GES4SEAS, OBAMA-NEXT Project , Guardias Project , Bioboost+ , ANERIS Project and POMP
