We are paving the way for an efficient and robust data enterprise by bringing our data collection into a new era of innovative technologies and techniques.
A new real-time messaging network uses a well-established maritime navigation safety technology—the Automatic Identification System—to reduce the risk of vessel strikes involving North Atlantic right whales.
To track the movements of whales, scientists and emergency responders use electronic tags. These tags rely on the same technology—telemetry—that lets people navigate with GPS or find a lost smartphone.
Some of the first mesophotic corals to spawn in human care were successfully returned to the seafloor as part of efforts to restore habitats injured by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
As conditions in ecosystems change, marine mammals and sea turtles may change their behaviors or shift their ranges to survive. This makes new technologies for tracking their movements and health vital to conservation efforts.
Scientists used a DriX to collect mission-critical data throughout southern New England, which could complement long-term surveys by filling gaps in places NOAA vessels and aircraft can’t reach.
