Saving coral reefs with AI & Sound : The Reef Pulse revolution

Monday, December 8, 2025 • Duration 01:02:40

Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea.
They cover less than 0.1% of the ocean surface, yet support up to 30% of all marine life, protect coasts, feed millions of people, and fuel tourism and local economies.

Now imagine this: under the pressure of climate change, pollution and human activity, up to 90% of coral reefs could disappear by 2050.

In this episode, we explore a different kind of ocean innovation: listening to the reef.
My guest, Yann Bayle, PhD in Artificial Intelligence applied to sound analysis and co-founder & CTO of Reef Pulse, is turning coral reefs into data using AI-powered passive acoustic monitoring to understand, protect, and even restore these critical ecosystems.

From decoding the “orchestra” of reef life to using underwater speakers to guide coral larvae back to degraded reefs, this conversation is about how sound + science + entrepreneurship can become a powerful tool for regeneration.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

The origin story of Reef Pulse: from Reunion Island to AI for the ocean
Why coral is an animal, how bleaching works, and what threatens reefs today
The key ecosystem services coral reefs provide to people and coastal communities
The limits of traditional monitoring (divers, satellites, eDNA) and how ecoacoustics changes the game
How Reef Pulse uses AI to record, clean and analyze underwater soundscapes
The difference between healthy vs degraded reef soundscapes
What acoustic restoration is and how underwater speakers can help larvae settle faster
How Reef Pulse balances impact, business models (B2G/B2B) and low-footprint technology
Yann’s advice for young innovators building marine projects with new technologies

Key question:

How can we use AI and sound to listen to coral reefs, protect them in real time, and even help bring them back to life—without adding new pressure on the ocean?

Can AI save lives at sea? Born from a real Mayday call.

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • Duration 47:44

A voice crackles over the radio. Panic. A fire onboard. No location. No number of people. Silence.
Now imagine if AI could step in, capture the message, fill in the gaps, call for help, save lives.

In this episode, we explore how a distress call during a sailing trip became the starting point of a deeptech journey aiming to transform VHF, the “walkie-talkie of the ocean”, into a real-time intelligent safety assistant powered by AI.

From hackathon to mission-critical deployment with the French Coast Guard (CROSS), discover how maritime safety may be on the verge of a leapfrog moment.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

· The origin story: a real Mayday call that sparked an innovation journey

· Ocean Hackathon → prototype: 48 hours together, pure focus, and nonstop feedback loops

· Why it was hard at first: Big Tech overlooked maritime, no relevant data to train models

· Why VHF fails under stress (no replay, accents, missing info) and how AI helps operators capture the essentials

· From B2C to B2B/B2G: co-developing with CROSS for mission-critical use, on-site immersion in operations

· The smartphone effect at sea: “rent a boat with an app” → more people, less trained VHF users → too many distress calls

· The tech, simply: speech-to-text with domain models, call classification, searchable logs, supervisor overview

· Data, not hype: why general AI fails at sea and why annotated maritime data (from CROSS) wins

· Dual-use angles: from safety to security, piracy comms, multilingual signals, and situational awareness

· Data protection done right: on-prem vs EU cloud, GDPR, certifications & sovereign choices
