Case Study: Marine Life Conservation

Introduction to a case of technical exploration by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to support the recovery of the North Atlantic right whale population.

One of the proposed solutions to save the North Atlantic right whale, which is at risk of extinction, is to develop a position indication technology for buoyless fishing gear. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has requested our company to identify a new solution for underwater object positioning without buoys. To make this project feasible, it was necessary to identify and track the position of underwater objects (such as fishing gear) that may move from the initial deployment location using a low-cost system, allowing users to detect their position. The system is required to be rope-free, meaning it cannot indicate position using buoys or floating ropes. A key outcome from this technology scouting project was related to acoustic devices. Our team identified numerous acoustic device solutions, which became strong candidates for the final solution. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*
