Shark Conservation
Through Research, Technology & Collaboration
At NeuralFin, we envision a future where sharks not only survive but thrive as keystone species sustaining healthy oceans.
As a research company, our mission is to unite artificial intelligence with marine science to expand knowledge of shark populations and their ecological roles. We combine original research with innovative technologies that enable the identification and protection of individual sharks worldwide.
By generating new insights and equipping conservationists, scientists, and policymakers with ethical, data-driven tools, NeuralFin advances the science and practice of shark conservation — ensuring these keystone species, and the ecosystems they support, endure for generations to come.
NeuralFin is a pioneering marine science initiative harnessing artificial intelligence to transform shark research and conservation.
By integrating advanced biometric recognition, machine learning, and marine expertise, we have created the world’s leading shark identification platform – designed by scientists, for scientists. Every photo uploaded by divers, researchers, and ocean enthusiasts contributes vital data, empowering scientists to better understand, monitor, and protect these iconic ocean predators.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: to protect sharks through collective knowledge – one identification at a time.
WHAT IS SHARK ID AI?
Shark ID AI is a cutting-edge artificial intelligence system that identifies individual sharks through advanced biometric pattern recognition. Developed for marine scientists, conservationists, and citizen researchers, it enables precise monitoring of shark populations to support global conservation and research.
By analysing high-resolution images, Shark ID AI creates a unique biometric signature for each shark, allowing researchers to track migrations, study behaviour, and monitor habitats over time — delivering insights that guide protection of these vital ocean predators.
Shark ID AI makes individual, non-invasive identification possible at scale — something previously impractical with manual photo-matching or reliance on tags. It standardises recognition across species and regions, returning rapid, reproducible matches with explicit confidence scores and verifiable image evidence.
HOW DOES SHARK ID AI WORK?
Shark ID AI transforms shark identification into a streamlined, data-driven process. It begins when a user uploads a clear photograph of a shark through our web platform. Using advanced artificial intelligence, the system analyses the image to determine the species and extract key biometric features, including fin shape, natural markings, and unique pattern signatures.
These features are then compared against our growing global database of identified sharks to detect a match. If the individual has been recorded previously, its existing profile is retrieved. If not, Shark ID AI assigns a new unique identification code, establishing a baseline record for future encounters.
Each sighting is stored with essential metadata — species, location, growth over time, date, and a confidence score — creating a dynamic and continuously evolving dataset that supports long-term scientific monitoring and global marine conservation.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Whether you’re a scientist, diver, photographer, or ocean enthusiast, you have a vital role to play in the future of shark conservation. By uploading shark photos, logging sightings, and contributing data, you directly support the world’s most advanced shark identification system.
Every submission strengthens our global, science-backed database, empowering researchers and conservationists to better understand and protect these remarkable apex predators.
Together, we can expand knowledge, drive meaningful action, and ensure the survival of sharks, and the health of our oceans for generations to come.
