“Percorsi nel BLU”/“Blue Paths” is a project — carried out by a Science teacher of a Unified School District in La Spezia — aimed for teaching scientific methods trough interactive learning and operational research on marine habitats. SEACleaner, instead, is a project carried out by a National Research Centre — Institute of Marine Sciences ISMAR-CNR — aimed for monitoring the impact of marine debris...
The European project “Wind, Ports, and Sea” (VPM), funded by the European Cross-border Programme “Italy-France Maritime 2007–2013”, aims to improve the safety conditions and to reduce the hazards by the development of a coupled monitoring and forecast system of the sea-state outside the main harbors of the Northern Tyrrhenian and Ligurian Seas. In particular, the sea and wind forecasts are evaluated...
A coordination protocol for systems of unmanned marine vehicles is proposed for protection against asymmetric threats. The problem is first modelled in a game theoretic framework, as a potential game. Then an extension of existing learning algorithms is proposed to address the problem of tracking the possibly moving threat. The approach is evaluated in scenarios of different geometric complexity such...
A robust, reliable, small, light and low consumption water collecting device, or Sampling System (SS), is a fundamental part of any physical chain and any functional process aiming at automatically monitor or measure chemical or biological water parameters in-situ. Autonomous aquatic vehicles (ASV and AUV), drifters and buoys need a SS to perform their missions. After the SS, the water sample can...
Nutrient pollution is one of worldwide most diffused, expensive and challenging environmental issues. The monitoring of nutrients in coastal areas is a complex task, due to the fact that the available methods reaching the required sensitivity are based on optical wet chemistry measurements. In order to be representative, a reliable water sample collection for further laboratory analysis requires a...
The Singapore Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Challenge, dubbed as SAUVC, is an effort by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society Singapore Chapter to engage and expose the tertiary students to the challenges of AUV design. The programme was started in 2013 and was originally intended to create awareness among the local students on the importance of underwater robotics and its relevance to Singapore. However,...
Rapidly dropping costs and increasing capabilities of robotic systems are creating unprecedented opportunities in the world of marine research. Remote sample collection in conditions that were once impossible due to expense, location, timing, or risk are now becoming a reality. Of particular interest in marine biological research is the aspect of removing additional stressors in the form of humans...
In the context of sea and ocean monitoring from (single polarization) SAR images, an innovative approach in the handling of azimuth ambiguities is here described. The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical explanation of the method briefly presented at IGARSS 2013 [1], and suggest applications in coastal and maritime traffic monitoring. The work is developed in the context of the project...
The SN1 observatory is a cabled deep-sea observatory operating in real-time since 2005 in Southern Italy (East Sicily), at 2100 m water depth, 25 km from the harbor of the city of Catania. A structural enhancement of the SN1 observatory is undergoing in the framework of the Italian EMSO MedIT project, including the implementation of a multi-parametric monitoring system for observation in the water...
Coastal areas are vulnerable ecosystems comprising unique biological niches that require protection. Identification of relevant types of hazards at the appropriate temporal and spatial scale is crucial to detect their sources and origin, to understand the processes governing their magnitude and distribution, and to ultimately evaluate and manage their risks and consequences preventing economic losses...
The surveillance of illegal fishing activities is a critical issue for the management of marine resources. Here, we address the monitoring of fishing activities from space, namely from VMS data (Vessel Monitoring System). We propose and evaluate a novel method for the recognition of the fishing vessel gear type from VMS trajectories as a mean of detecting abnormal uses of undeclared fishing gear....
The proposed low cost systems shows the results obtained in the implementation and testing in marine environment of a Innovative Monitoring Underwater Buoy Systems for Marine and Rivers installation with IR-Cam, Instrumental Telemetry and Acoustic Data Acquisition Capability (MUnBuS). This concerning a innovative Monitoring Underwater Buoy Systems that can be remotely controlled from the ground, air,...
The proposed project shows the results obtained in the implementation and testing in lacustrine and marine environment of an innovative laterals hydro floating tilting systems control for USV or remote/autonomous surface nautical vehicles. This vehicle is based on a pending patent belonging to Palermo University (Patent Pending RM2012A000209 and RM2012A000209). The system allows, during operation...
The proposed project shows the results obtained in the implementation and testing in lacustrine and marine environment of a nautical remote controlled vehicle with surface navigation and innovative features Semi-Immersible (SI-USV). This vehicle is based on a pending patent belonging to Palermo University (Patent Pending RM2012A000209 and RM2012A000209) concerning innovative semi-immersible vehicles...
There is a rising concern about the environmental status of the seas of our planet. Such concern regards several kinds of anthropogenic activities and their impact on the marine ecosystems. Part of the adverse effects are recognised to be due to various forms of acoustic emissions generated by human activities related to the exploitation of sea resources and to shipping. The main regulatory bodies...
In the Ligurian Sea, 40km off the coast of Toulon and thus not far from the city of Genova which hosts the Oceans'15 MTS/IEEE conference, takes place an outstanding joint effort between astroparticle physicists and marine biologists named ANTARES. Astrophysics and marine biology come to work closely at underwater observatories which can be used on the one hand for the light and acoustic detection...
In a catchment, or river basin, water is collected by the natural landscape and all rain and run-off eventually flow into a single point at a lower elevation i.e. a river, lake, ocean or groundwater system. The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) [1] introduced an integrated river basin management plan for Europe in 2000 into legislation thus taking a comprehensive catchment based approach...
The increasing number and complexity of research platforms and respective devices and sensors along with heterogeneous project-driven requirements towards satellite communication, sensor monitoring, quality assessment and control, processing, analysis and visualization has recently lead us to build a generic and cost-effective framework (O2A) to enable the flow of sensor observations to archives....
The European AQUO project started in October 2012, in the scope of the FP7 European Research Framework, for three years duration. The final goal is to provide policy makers with practical guidelines and solutions, in order to mitigate underwater noise footprint due to noise radiation from ships. In the framework of the AQUO project, real-time monitoring of shipping noise has been implemented in three...
Methods for using underwater vehicles for mapping and monitoring are developed continuously. These methods developed must be accurate, quantitative and repeatable while being as cost effective as possible. In 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory completed surveys in the Trondheim Fjord area. During these surveys...
