Riverine Acoustic Fish Telemetry (RAFT) Network
The Riverine Acoustic Fish Telemetry (RAFT™) Network is a node of the Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) and serves as a repository to access and archive acoustic fish telemetry data from projects occurring across the Mississippi River Basin. By sharing the locations of receivers and detections of member transmitters across all receivers in the Network, RAFT provides an avenue for collaboration and...
Deep Learning for Automated Detection and Classification of Waterfowl, Seabirds, and other Wildlife from Digital Aerial Imagery
The U.S. Geological Survey Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center is developing deep learning algorithms and tools for the automatic detection, enumeration, classification, and annotation of seabirds and other marine wildlife from digital aerial imagery — advancing cutting-edge research in collaboration with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS...
