UCSB uses AI to track great white sharks off Santa Barbara
Original: As ocean temperatures rise, UCSB tracks Santa Barbara’s great white sharks with AI
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara are using artificial intelligence to monitor great white sharks along the Santa Barbara coast as ocean temperatures rise. Warmer waters are drawing more juvenile great whites to the area, and the AI tracking is meant to improve understanding of their movements and reduce risks for beachgoers.
Why now: Rising ocean temperatures are increasing shark sightings near popular beaches, making new tracking technology newsworthy.
