Marine Construction

Your project runs 24 hours. Your environmental permits don’t take a break. WhaleSpotter gives marine construction teams real-time AI whale detection – so work continues safely, and your permit stays intact.

Detect. Alert. Avoid.^SM

WhaleSpotter helps prevent disruption to marine mammals.

WhaleSpotter delivers real-time, expert-verified whale detection and awareness, helping offshore and coastal wind, energy, dredging, and subsea construction teams detect whales approaching the work zone and respond with confidence.

Real-Time Whale Detection for Offshore Projects

WhaleSpotter helps offshore and coastal teams detect whales in real time, verify detections within seconds, and adjust operations to reduce noise impacts.

Working day and night, WhaleSpotter provides the continuous situational awareness needed to reduce noise impacts, support compliance, and maintain operational continuity while reducing crew costs.

Benefits:

Operate 24/7, including at night and in challenging conditions
Support regulatory compliance with verified, defensible data
Protect marine mammals by minimizing noise impacts in sensitive habitats
Provide accurate range and zone monitoring for informed decisions
Reduce reliance on costly human spotters while improving coverage

Industries and Use Cases:

Offshore Wind Installation – turbine foundation and cable installation vessels operating in NARW and other whale habitats
Dredging Operations – continuous monitoring during capital dredging and maintenance projects in coastal and port environments
Submarine Cable Installation – MMO compliance on cable lay vessels operating in humpback, right whale, and blue whale migration corridors
LNG Construction – heavy lift and pipelay vessels on nearshore LNG terminal construction in orca and humpback habitat (Pacific Northwest, BC, Gulf Coast)
Port Construction – terminal expansion, breakwater, and pile driving projects with protected species monitoring requirements
Pile Driving / IHA Compliance – real-time monitoring to meet Incidental Harassment Authorization shutdown and restart protocols
