Ocean protection, powered by AI
FinShield combines real time AI object detection technology with accelerated AIS intelligence. Together they detect illegal shark finning activity and IUU fishing as they happen.
Protecting our oceans
Object Detection + accelerated AIS to deter shark finning and IUU fishing in real time.
How it works
Real‑time Object Detection paired with AIS analytics for complete coverage.
Detects shark finning on boat decks or boats using existing cameras.
Our Object Detection Models run on your cameras or drones to continuously monitor boats. When risk is detected, the system emits an event and clip for immediate review
Designed for efficiency and speed: analysis happens locally, and only structured alerts are sent to you.
Analysis patterns associated with IUU fishing for increased efficiency.
We enrich AIS with ML to flag suspicious behavior such as loitering, dark activity, and transshipment. Vessels receive a rolling risk score and trend indicators.
Insights are available to user immediately.
