Project Details
Description
The project aims to develop new technological methods and tools to ensure an economically efficient and professionally sound mapping of the ecosystem components eelgrass and macroalgae in Natura 2000 areas, and potentially other areas, with fishing (dredging) activities.
The project focuses on two directions for technological development of methods: 1) Development of drone technology for cost-effecient mapping of eelgrass and macroalgae, including development of technologies for mapping in deep and turbid waters. 2) Development of models for mapping eelgrass in Natura 2000 areas - including optimization of existing models.
