Short Description
DeepAI aims to assess the health of gorgonians in Marseille's Calanques National Park amidst global change, causing widespread invertebrate mortality. The project uses participatory science for data collection via scuba diving photography and AI for image analysis. It will develop a model for health assessment and sustainable monitoring through participatory science, involving a network of experts across disciplines. The initiative will enhance long-term biodiversity monitoring and provide data and insights to environmental managers, showcasing a model for a long-term observatory that merges human and analytical resources.
