Identify species
Recognise cetaceans, seabirds, turtles and other marine life from photographs.
National Movement
The Ocean Belongs to All of Us.
ARGUS AI Sentinel connects citizens, Artificial Intelligence and maritime authorities to protect Portugal's ocean through citizen science and real-time maritime intelligence.
Every citizen becomes one more eye protecting the ocean.
Origin
Who is Argus?
In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes was a guardian with one hundred eyes — able to watch over everything, never sleeping entirely.
ARGUS AI Sentinel transforms this ancient idea into a modern technological network.
Every observation. Every citizen. Every report. Another eye protecting the ocean.
The Challenge
Why ARGUS Exists
Portugal has one of Europe's largest Exclusive Economic Zones. Monitoring such a vast maritime territory is impossible using traditional resources alone.
Thousands of people interact with the ocean every day — fishermen, sailors, whale watching companies, divers, surfers, researchers, beach visitors and families.
Together we can create Portugal's largest citizen-powered ocean monitoring network.

Process
How It Works
From a single observation to national maritime intelligence — every step designed for trust and precision.
1
Citizen submits an observation
A photograph, location and category — from cetaceans to marine litter — sent from the coast.
2
Azure AI Weather enriches the report
Environmental and weather data are automatically attached to every observation.
3
Artificial Intelligence analyses the report
Species identification, classification, deduplication and priority scoring.
4
FrontSea Intelligence Hub organises
Reports are validated, correlated and prepared for operational review.
5
A human operator reviews
Every report passes through human validation before any operational action.
6
Authorities receive information
Scientific partners and authorities receive structured, validated intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence + Human Validation
The AI assists. Humans make operational decisions.
Intelligence Center
FrontSea Intelligence Hub
The intelligence center behind the ecosystem — where citizen observations, weather data and maritime intelligence converge into one operational platform.
Technology
Artificial Intelligence
AI supports every observation — always under human supervision. Simple, transparent, responsible.
Detect marine litter
Classify pollution, ghost nets and debris observed at sea or on the coast.
Classify observations
Structure citizen reports into consistent, searchable categories.
Remove duplicates
Filter repeated reports to keep intelligence clean and reliable.
Prioritise events
Score urgency so critical observations reach operators first.
Structured reports
Generate clear summaries ready for human review and authorities.
Enrich observations
Attach weather, location and environmental context to every report automatically.

Manifesto
The ocean has never belonged only to sailors.
It belongs to every child playing on the beach. Every fisherman. Every diver. Every scientist. Every citizen who stops to help.
Protecting the ocean begins with observing it.
ARGUS AI Sentinel transforms thousands of individual observations into one national intelligence network.
No satellite can replace the eyes of those who live the sea every day.
Today we are hundreds. Tomorrow we can become thousands.
Every citizen becomes another Eye of Argus.
Together we protect Portugal's greatest natural heritage.
