Alexander Dungate Taught AI to Watch the Water. Then the Horizon Got Wider.
A fisheries-science lecture gave Alexander Dungate a problem he could not leave on the next slide. Four years later, the Vancouver founder is teaching machines to find the rare moments buried inside oceans of video.
Blue Ocean Gear
Blue Ocean Gear builds Smart Buoys - rugged, connected buoys that track the real-time location and movement of fishing and aquaculture gear deployed at sea. Using dual-band satellite and radio links feeding a cloud platform and mobile app, the company helps commercial fishers find lost gear faster, spot problems early, cut fuel-burning search time, and reduce 'ghost gear' that fouls the ocean. Founded in 2015 and based in Sausalito, California, it serves wild-capture fisheries, aquaculture farms, and research institutions from New England to the South Pacific.
