Detect underwater objects in real-time with sonar and AI

Spend less to get more from your sonar data and locate ghost gear, vessels, planes and more

Mission

Our mission is to provide fast and accurate detections of underwater objects to help create cleaner, healthier, and safer ocean ecosystems.

How it works

Scan with sonar

Connect to Ocean AID

Our software is compatible with most forward facing multibeam and side scan sonars.

Connect to Ocean AID

With Ocean AID's software, connect your laptop to the sonar, select the objects you want to detect, and start detecting!

Get real-time detections

Our artificial intelligence (AI) models quickly and accurately detect objects from sonar data.

Map underwater objects

Get real-time detections

View accurate locations and detailed data about your detected objects in realtime. Giving you the information you need to make the best desicion.

Applications:

Current applications (detections):

Ghost gear retrieval (traps, ropes, nets)
Locating wrecks (vessels and planes)
Search and rescue

Future applications:

Collision avoidance system (deadhead logs)
Mine detections (unexploded ordnance)
Monitoring aquacuture
Fisheries
Underwater infrastructure inspection
Scientific research
Defence

Stopping Ghost Gear

What is ghost gear?

Ghost gear is abandoned or lost fishing gear like nets traps and rope that continue to kill fish, whales, sea turtles, seabirds, and destroy ocean ecosystems. Ghost gear is the most deadly form of ocean plastic and the most common ocean macro plastic.

Impact of ghost gear

70% of ocean macro plastic is ghost gear.

5% to 30% of fish are killed by ghost gear globally.

90% of of species caught have commercial value, resulting in billions of dollars lost annually.

AcKNOWLEDGEMENTs

We would like to respectfully acknowledge that we work on the traditional unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.

With this ocean restoration project we want to work with and learn from Indigenous nations whose relationship with the land and water continue to this day.

We would also like to acknowledge the great restoration work being done by Bear River First Nation, who provided us with sonar data from their retrieval expeditions for our pilot projects.
