Underwater Acoustic Tracking for Marine Conservation

Explore underwater acoustic tracking techniques for marine conservation in this research seminar presentation. Discover how autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are revolutionizing the monitoring of deep-sea ecosystems, with a focus on tracking Norway lobster movements. Learn about cutting-edge algorithms for acoustic tag identification and long-baseline localization systems used to study marine animal behavior at meter-scale precision in depths of 400 meters. Gain insights into the importance of understanding marine species mobility patterns for establishing effective marine protected areas and conservation strategies. The speaker, Ivan Masmitja, shares his expertise in underwater target tracking and autonomous vehicle applications, drawing from his experience with various research institutions and international projects.
