About WhaleSpotter
WhaleSpotter delivers real-time whale detection and awareness to help prevent vessel strikes and support safer operations at sea. Using a camera-based system with thermal imaging and scientifically validated detection models, WhaleSpotter identifies whales far enough ahead of large vessels to give bridge crews time to slow, steer, or adjust course—reducing strike risk before a whale enters harm’s way.
