Startups show off ocean-preserving tech at Paris trade fair
- Startups demonstrated ocean-preserving technologies like AI-based whale tracking and fuel-saving navigation at the Vivatech trade fair in Paris in 2025.
- These innovations respond to challenges including many fishers spending excessive time searching for fish and regulation that demands sustainable marine resource use.
- Experts emphasized that technology should support sustainability rather than increasing fishing hauls, with AI models enabling faster ocean current forecasts and fuel-efficient shipping routes.
- Oceanographer Alexandre Stegner noted AI models can calculate weather forecasts 1,000 times faster than traditional supercomputers, offering sea captains up to a four-knot speed boost to cut fuel use and emissions.
- This technology surge could aid ocean conservation and industry savings if big firms take responsibility, while global efforts seek to enact a treaty protecting 60 percent of the oceans.
