to deal with manually, said Emily Charry Tissier, a biologist and founder of Canadian startup Whale Seeker, which is developing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> to track sea mammals.<\/p>\n<p>Powered by &#8220;neural network&#8221; systems that ape the functioning of the human brain, the learning systems behind today&#8217;s AI models &#8220;can calculate a weather forecast 1,000 times faster than a standard digital model running on a supercomputer,&#8221; agreed oceanographer Alexandre Stegner.<\/p>\n<p>He flagged an AI model developed by his firm, Amphitrite, that he said could predict ocean currents by crunching &#8220;several layers of satellite data corresponding to different physical variables.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It can forecast currents up to 10 days in advance, he said, offering sea captains &#8220;a simple way to save fuel&#8221; by slightly changing course and using currents to gain a speed boost of up to four knots.<\/p>\n<p>That could save operators money on fuel, reduce the carbon emissions from shipping, and avoid the classic solution of telling sea captains to reduce their speed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_protection_push\"><\/span>Global protection push<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Technologies like these were being shown off in the halls of Vivatech as the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC) drew to a close hundreds of kilometers to the south in French Mediterranean city Nice.<\/p>\n<p>The conference has pushed a treaty to protect 60% of the world&#8217;s oceans closer to becoming law, with 55 signatures\u2014just five shy of the number required for its enactment.<\/p>\n<p>New technologies could be &#8220;a very good thing&#8221; for the oceans, said Andre Abreu, International Affairs Director at the Paris-based Tara Ocean Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>But he warned that innovation should not be harnessed to allow more fish to be caught.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That would mean shooting ourselves in the foot&#8221; on goals like preserving marine biodiversity, he said.<\/p>\n<p>That ambiguity can be seen in technology from OceanEyes, a Japanese startup using AI analysis of satellite data to predict sea conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The company hopes to cut the time fishing boats spend tracking down a catch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A big problem in Japan is the efficiency of the fishery operations. Many fishers spend a lot of time searching for fish in the water,&#8221; said boss Yusuke Tanaka.<\/p>\n<p>With less fuel burnt, operators will save money and greenhouse emissions can be slashed.<\/p>\n<p>Anticipating concerns about overfishing, OceanEyes said it also aimed to help vessels comply with recently updated Japanese regulations that oblige fishers to &#8220;ensure sustainable use of marine resources.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads w-100 my-4 article-main__more bg-light p-3 border\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<p class=\"mb-3\">\n        Discover the latest in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a>, tech, and space with over <strong>100,000 subscribers<\/strong> who rely on Phys.org for daily insights.<br \/>\n        Sign up for our <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sciencex.com\/help\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\">free newsletter<\/a> and get updates on breakthroughs,<br \/>\n        innovations, and research that matter\u2014<strong>daily or weekly<\/strong>.\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Can_vs_%E2%80%98should\"><\/span>&#8216;Can&#8217; vs. &#8216;should&#8217;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whale Seeker&#8217;s Tissier said technology could be used in a considered way to find sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like the market to recognize its own limits\u2014not the limits of what we can do, but what we should do,&#8221; she told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>That attitude pushed her to refuse to work with a company that wanted to use whale detection to identify nearby fish to catch.<\/p>\n<p>But startups cannot grow without funding and, in the context of oceans, investments are likely to come from big firms keen to make a saving\u2014from fishing and ship management companies to haulage and logistics giants.<\/p>\n<p>This could well limit their ability to stand on principle.<\/p>\n<p>Stegner called for &#8220;regulations that would push the maritime sector to reduce carbon emissions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Charry Tissier said the initiative could come from business.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Technology is developing so much faster than regulation&#8230; what I&#8217;d like is for big companies to decide for themselves to be responsible,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \u00a9 2025 AFP\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tStartups show off ocean-preserving tech at Paris trade fair (2025, June 13)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tretrieved 13 June 2025<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom https:\/\/phys.org\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2025-06-startups-ocean-tech-paris-fair.html\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t This document is subject to copyright.
