Skylight’s Post

We're proud to share that we've placed 3rd in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Grand Fishing Forecast Challenge. A collaborative effort across multiple Allen Institute for AI (AI2) departments, our AI models showed promise in spotting fishing patterns—an important step forward that will provide those on the water with the information needed to help address IUU fishing. We learned a lot from the competition and are excited to implement those lessons in the development of our platform. #AI #AI4Good #EndIUUFishing

🌊 Skylight at Galapex III 2024: Strengthening Maritime Security Together 🌊 We are thrilled to have participated in the Galapex III 2024 conference, a key multinational exercise organized by the Ecuadorian Navy. This event is crucial for enhancing maritime security and protecting marine resources. A big thank you to the Armada del Ecuador for the invitation and our partners at UNODC for making the connection possible. Together, we are making strides in the fight against illegal fishing and fostering a more secure and sustainable future for our oceans. #MaritimeSecurity #GalapexIII #OceanProtection #Skylight #Sustainability For more details on Galapex III 2024, visit the Ecuadorian Navy's blog.

Happy #WorldOceanDay! Celebrating Parcs de Noé's success in fighting IUU fishing in Congo's Conkouati-Douli Park. Leveraging AI-powered detects with #Skylight right in EarthRanger, another tool also from Allen Institute for AI (AI2), they're making interdictions and transforming into a model for tech-driven conservation.

In case you missed our news this past week: Real-time optical imagery is now available in #Skylight! "Skylight’s vessel detection data from the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2 imagery has been a game-changer. It is a significant time-saver to have vessel detections automatically flagged for investigation." - Maritime advisor, Charlie Brown. Use it today and let us know what you think!

Partnering with grad students to help protect the ocean. Here's how our collaboration with Bren School of Environmental Science & Management - University of California, Santa Barbara yielded critical insights into the urgency of tackling IUU fishing as well as the development of a new decision-making tool. https://bit.ly/4bG9kSb Shout out to Eleanor Thomas, Chloe Swick, Isabella Rothenberg, Ashley Cooper, and Sydney Mayes for their tireless work! /// #BetterTogether #StopIUU #SaveTheOcean

First-of-its-kind and in near real-time. Maritime analysts and conservationists have long aspired to locate unreported vessels from space using optical imagery (1st picture). Now, that aspiration is a reality through Skylight's new AI-powered Sentinel-2 detections (swipe right)! As one user said, "Skylight’s vessel detection data from Sentinel-2 imagery has been a game-changer. It's a significant time-saver to have vessel detections automatically flagged for investigation." And so analysts can confirm the AI model's work for themselves, we've made every detection linked to a corresponding raw image in Sentinel hub (last image).

To restore our ocean, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) need to play a vital role. As we celebrate #EarthDay, watch how the Bahamas are leveraging innovative public-private partnerships with our friends at WildAid and The Nature Conservancy and AI through #Skylight to protect these areas. Watch to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gjWrRZJW #Tech4Good #OceanConservation

Excited to be in Athens for this week's Our Ocean Conference! Come say 👋 to us in the Data to Catalyze 30x30 Booth. We'll be there tomorrow at 9:30 and Wednesday from 11-12 pm and 3-4 pm.
