Our Mission
Shark Spotting with Drones is a research project sponsored by the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo College of Engineering. Our project focuses on implementing a trained neural network to recognize and learn about sharks and other marine life in an effort to make the ocean safer for everyone.
