A Machine Learning Approach to better understand and protect manatees in Latin America and the Caribbean

AI 4 Manatees is a multi-sectoral alliance that aims to accelerate the conservation of manatee populations in the Caribbean, and regions in Central and South America.

By building a mechanism for analyzing manatee vocalizations from submarine audio recordings harnessing the power of AI systems, we will produce tools that allow researchers and conservation practitioners to better understand manatees' behavior and communication patterns.
