Summary

UMass Dartmouth computer science students are contributing to whale conservation efforts through their work with the Whale Sanctuary Project. They are developing machine learning models to analyze underwater acoustic data, helping researchers identify and track whale calls more efficiently. This technology aims to improve understanding of whale behavior and migration patterns, which is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. By combining their technical skills with marine biology, the students are making a significant impact on preserving whale populations and advancing the field of conservation science. This collaboration highlights the potential of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing environmental challenges.
