AI consultant Kevin McCraney recently tackled fish counting at hydroelectric dams, a complex sociotechnical challenge. He developed human-in-the-loop systems to improve dataset accuracy for environmental monitoring. This approach integrates AI with expert oversight to manage fish passage data effectively. The project highlights digital transformation in environmental science through AI-assisted data production.

**What Happened**  
Kevin McCraney worked on fish counting at large hydroelectric dams, focusing on coordinating human-in-the-loop dataset production. His methods improved data reliability by combining AI with human expertise in environmental monitoring.

**Why It Matters for the AECM Industry**  
Accurate fish passage data is critical for dam operation compliance and environmental impact assessments. Integrating AI with human oversight can optimize monitoring workflows, reduce manual labor, and enhance regulatory reporting for hydroelectric projects.

**What's Next**  
Further deployment of AI-human collaborative systems is planned to scale fish counting across additional dams. The project aims to refine algorithms and expand dataset management tools for broader environmental applications.
