AI Cameras Watch Herring Migration

AI-Powered Fish Tracking

Researchers have begun deploying cutting-edge camera technology integrated with artificial intelligence to monitor herring populations in the Coonamessett River, located on Cape Cod. These cameras capture footage of the fish as they migrate upstream during spawning season.

Data for Conservation

The system analyzes real-time video to count fish and gather migration data, replacing traditional hand-tallying methods. This innovation supports better environmental management and helps scientists track the river’s ecosystem health over time.
