ML for Ocean Health: Monitoring Marine Ecosystems with AI
From Data to Deep Blue: Transforming Ocean Monitoring with AI.
About This Course
ML for Ocean Health: Monitoring Marine Ecosystems with AI explores how artificial intelligence and machine learning can transform ocean monitoring and conservation.Participants will learn to analyze satellite, acoustic, and underwater imaging data to track biodiversity, pollution, and ecosystem changes.
Aim
To equip participants with practical AI and machine learning skills for monitoring and protecting marine ecosystems.
Program Objectives
- Introduce core ML concepts for ocean health monitoring.
- Build skills to analyze satellite, acoustic, and biodiversity datasets.
- Apply AI to detect ecosystem shifts, pollution patterns, and species distribution.
- Develop predictive models to support conservation and decision-making.
Program Structure
Module 1: Bio-Indicators & Computer Vision
- Coral Health Classification: Hybrid CNN-SVM models for
Healthy / Stressed / Bleached corals (radiometric + water-column correction). - Automated Species ID & Abundance: YOLOv10 for real-time fish counting and species identification from ROV footage.
- Acoustic Soundscape Monitoring: Spectrogram-based deep learning to estimate biodiversity via
Biophony vs Anthropophony.
🚀 Colab Hands-on: [Coral-Health-Classifier] —
Build a pipeline to detect bleaching in high-resolution reef imagery using the CoralNet open dataset.
Module 2: Pollution Tracking & Habitat Stress
- Multi-Sensor Pollution Detection: SAR + optical fusion to identify oil spills and chemical runoff plumes near industrial zones.
- Predictive Algal Bloom Modeling: LSTM forecasting of HABs using SST, chlorophyll-a, and nutrient runoff indicators.
- Mangrove & Seagrass “Blue Carbon” Mapping: AI segmentation of coastal carbon sinks to estimate sequestration for environmental credits.
🚀 Colab Hands-on: [HAB-Early-Warning] —
Create a time-series model to predict chlorophyll-a spikes using Copernicus Marine satellite data.
Module 3: Conservation Strategy & Policy AI
- RL for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): Simulate and optimize protected-zone boundaries to maximize species recovery while minimizing economic impact.
- Illegal Fishing Detection: AIS trajectory analysis to flag transshipment and suspicious mid-ocean behavior.
- XAI for Environmental Policy: SHAP heatmaps to explain why a coastal area is prioritized for restoration.
🚀 Colab Hands-on: [Vessel-Behavior-AI] —
Implement Isolation Forest anomaly detection to identify suspicious loitering patterns in vessel GPS data.
