The world has committed to protecting 30% of the ocean by 2030, a target scientists see as the minimum for a healthy ocean. With four years to go, only about 3% is effectively protected. Countries & communities pursuing the 30x30 goal often lack the data, tools & technical teams to propose & implement conservation efforts at the speed & scale needed to get there.
AI is starting to help with some of the hardest parts of that work. It can map where whales & other wildlife gather so countries know which waters to protect, & help coast guards catch illegal fishing vessels inside protected areas. However, most of these tools still sit out of reach of the small island nations & coastal communities with the most at stake. Whether AI narrows that gap or widens it depends on whether it's built with & for the people who will use it.
Join Anew & Ocean Agentics for an evening of conversation with people leading this work across ocean technology, science, philanthropy & policy. We'll talk about what responsible AI for the ocean could look like, & what it would take for these tools to reach the people who need them. Drinks & mingling to follow.
Ocean Agentics is a nonprofit building open tools that put frontier technology & marine data in the hands of people protecting the ocean. Our current focus is on providing engineering support to the countries & stakeholders implementing the High Seas Treaty, which covers two-thirds of the ocean.
Anew is a gathering space & discovery center for social transformation located in NYC. We host interactive events & workshops, an accelerator program for nonprofits, & a retail lab featuring ethically-sourced coffee & gifts.
