Monitoring endangered sea turtles.
Beneath the crystal-clear waters of Bonaire, Delta and Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire (STCB) have embarked on a groundbreaking journey to safeguard sea turtles. Together, they’ve developed an innovative AI model that revolutionizes how these magnificent creatures are identified without ever removing them from their ocean home.
Sea turtles glide gracefully through their underwater world, their unique markings now serving as a natural signature. With every image captured, the AI learns and evolves, enabling researchers to recognize individual turtles with precision. This technology minimizes disruption to their habitat, allowing these ancient mariners to continue their timeless journey undisturbed.
STCB’s mission goes beyond preservation. It seeks to inspire, connecting people to the wonders of sea turtle conservation and fostering a deeper appreciation for nature. This collaboration with Delta represents a harmonious blend of technology and care, ensuring a brighter, more secure future for Bonaire’s sea turtles.
Delta and STCB invite you to dive into this extraordinary story a testament to innovation and compassion working hand in hand for the planet’s future.
