Coral Conservation Project with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Hong Kong MakerSpace for Social and Environmental ImpactWe are a cross-sectoral makerspace for innovation. We created MakerBay for makers that range from robotic companies to environmental NGOs, from mechanical engineering to traditional craftspeople, both at the same time, and everything in between. Simultaneously, we have strong focuses on individuals and organisations that are either environmental, social, and/or open-source.

If you have watched a film about Clownfish, you may notice that a lot of fishes and other marine life rely on coral reefs. Moreover, coral reefs serve as a “breakwater” to protect our coastline from erosion by waves. Yet, scientists have shown that at least 30% of coral reefs are already dead. If we do not start preserving, 90% of coral reefs will be dead by 2050.To preserve the coral reefs, we can make use of AI (Artificial Intelligence), it will help us to locate, identify and observe coral reefs effectively. Yet, preservation can only be fully achieved through cooperation, we hope to educate the public and the next generation of the concept of preservation, as well as the necessary skills, so we invite you to join our workshop “Coral Conservation Project with Artificial Intelligence (AI)”, we are looking forward to seeing you!Contact us at +852 5199 6126 for any questions Date: August 28Time: 9:00am to 5:00pmAge: 12 yo or above Course fee: HK$600 per participant, special offer HK$1000 For 1 Child + 1 ParentVenue : WWF Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre(Hoi Ha Marine Life Centre, c/o 1/F, House 2A, Hoi Ha Village, Sai Kung, New Territories)Preparations: Bring your own laptops/tablets and lunch (recommended to use reusable utensil)Schedule:09:00: Introduction of corals in Hong Kong and Hoi Ha Wan, WWF centre09:30: Introduction of Coral Reef mapping robot10:00: Go to the water and use the robot to map a designated area 12:00: Lunch(inside WWF centre)13:00: Introduction of photogrammetry and AI14:00: Make your own AI model (Teachable Machine)16:00: Analysis and labelling of photos collected in the morning.
