About the initiative
Description of the initiative
This pilot project, in collabration with Aquatic Invasive Species Program, develops an AI-powered system to automatically detect and track watercraft at key entry points to prevent the spread of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS). By enabling early identification of vessels that may carry invasive organisms, the system supports faster inspections and intervention to protect aquatic ecosystems. Initial exploration using sample data is underway, with the project pending ADM approval for installing cameras and data collection. Client: Aquatic Invasive Species Program
