Happywhale

Happywhale is a citizen science website where people upload photographs of whales and dolphins so that individual animals can be identified and tracked. For humpback whales it uses artificial intelligence to match the shapes and patterns on the underside of the tail flukes, with matches checked by a scientist. It was co-founded by Ted Cheeseman, and its photo-identification data supported a 2024 study in Royal Society Open Science on North Pacific humpback numbers.
