Vision
The status of marine mammals populations worldwide is of great meaning to us. We believe that in order to expedite the restoration of marine mammals populations and conservation, utilization of engineering tools is critical.
In Deep Voice, we develop and provide accessibility for marine mammals passive acoustics monitoring (PAM). Our R&D is focused on marine mammals populations and places where these tools are insufficiently implemented and great lack of research exists.
R&D missions
Development of Automated detection or localization tools
These tools can be used for tracking, supervision or research of a species or an individual in interest and are the baseline for further practical conservation methods. For species with local rare appearance for example, this ability alone creates value.
Population estimation tool and operative implications
By assessing the local population in time and place using the automated detection tools baseline, an operative research for determining shipping lanes and regulating fishing zones is conducted.

The research findings is then transferred to the local authorities. In practice, such regulations are the key to provide deaths and injuries, as fishing net entanglements and ship collisions are the two major reasons for cetacean’s population decline worldwide.
Development of local algorithms using lean research for worldwide spread
The global status of PAM utilization is such that in only certain parts of the world it is implemented. This is because PAM applications require knowledge and funding- two rare resources on a global scale.

Deep Voice works with relatively inexpensive acoustic monitoring tools ( hence “lean research”) and believes in free sharing and teaching the knowledge globally. Therefore, the work on local populations is just the baseline for the developed PAM applications to be spread worldwide by the NGO. Accessing these lean-research applications to other biologists group worldwide who lack the capabilities is the key for a better global conservation
Data
Collection
Deep Voice is collecting visual and acoustic data for linguistic-cognitive research analysis to be shared with other research groups worldwide.
Goals and Future Plans
In three years from now
a. Completion of the C1 Humpback Project– We plan to finish the humpback R&D process and create a first local distribution estimation based on developed algorithms. These findings have the potential of local regulations alterations, hence preventing strandings and ship collision and ensuring the population survival.
b. New Projects and Further Implementations- The algorithms created for the C1 population will be adjusted and implemented further for other marine mammal populations that are in need.
c. Expanding– Enhancing the number of team members, global connections and work.
In ten years from now
we except Deep Voice to be after completion of at least four significant projects, and to have its tangible outcomes spread around the globe and used by several biologist groups. The projects endgame will be tangible environmental output for places and populations that have not been studied before.
