Rutgers AI predicts whale locations near offshore wind sites

Original: Rutgers researchers use AI and ocean data to predict whale locations near offshore wind areas

Rutgers University researchers have developed a method that uses artificial intelligence and ocean data to predict where whales are likely to be found near offshore wind energy areas. The tool could help developers and regulators reduce risks to whale populations as wind farm construction expands along US waters, by anticipating whale presence before activities begin.

Why now: Growing offshore wind development has raised concerns about impacts on whales, making tools that predict whale movements highly relevant.
