Rutgers team uses AI to predict whale locations near offshore wind
Original: Rutgers researchers use AI and ocean data to predict whale locations near offshore wind areas
Researchers at Rutgers University are using artificial intelligence combined with ocean data to predict where whales are likely to be found near offshore wind energy development areas. The work aims to help reduce risks to whale populations as wind farms expand along US coasts, a topic of ongoing concern for conservationists and the renewable energy industry.
Why now: Whale protection has become a flashpoint in debates over offshore wind development, making AI-based tools to avoid whale strikes and disruption newsworthy.
