Safewaters AI

Safewaters AI is a specialized risk forecasting platform that provides 7-day shark attack risk predictions for any beach worldwide. Its primary purpose is to help users make more informed decisions about when and where to enter the water by translating complex environmental and historical data into clear, location-specific risk levels. Designed as a “weather-style” interface for shark activity, it aims to increase situational awareness for both recreational users and professionals who manage coastal safety.

The platform leverages AI models trained on historical shark incident data combined with environmental and oceanographic variables to estimate the likelihood of shark encounters. In testing, Safewaters AI correctly classified 83% of previous attacks as “high risk,” demonstrating strong predictive performance on historical data. Users can access daily and 7-day outlooks for specific beaches, enabling them to track changing risk conditions over time. The tool’s global coverage allows consistent risk assessment whether users are at local beaches or traveling to new coastal destinations.
