Whale Trails is an innovative application designed to support whale and sea mammal conservation efforts around the Puget Sound area. This platform empowers users to report sightings of whales and other marine giants, fostering greater awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species. By engaging both experts and enthusiasts, Whale Trails aims to educate and encourage more people to participate in whale-watching events and conservation activities. Equipped with an AI-enhanced reporting tool, the app can automatically recognize species, gender, and age from user-submitted images. Additionally, thanks to its high-resolution image analysis capabilities, Whale Trails can even identify specific whales by their tribe number, contributing valuable data to researchers and supporting long-term preservation efforts.
