GeoThinkTank partnered with NOAA Fisheries to pioneer the use of spectral imaging for monitoring Northern Fur Seal (NFS) populations in remote regions of Alaska. As part of this effort, we conducted the first-ever collection of spectral field measurements of NFS – capturing data from both Mystic Aquarium and their native habitats in Alaska. This foundational dataset enabled in-depth spectral analysis, modeling, and simulation to identify optimal sensing strategies. The result was a data driven methodology designed to ensure high quality repeatable methods for NFS surveys in their remote environments. Our findings led to key recommendations that informed NOAA’s long-term strategy for NFS monitoring—helping NOAA advance the state-of-the-art of their mission.
