NASA scientists developed an artificial intelligence tool to detect and track harmful algal blooms in coastal waters [1][2]. The system combines data from multiple satellites to improve accuracy in complex marine environments [1][3].
This tool utilizes self-supervised machine learning to recognize specific algae species [1]. By mapping these blooms, researchers aim to protect marine life and public health more effectively [2][3].
