Unmanne Underwater and Surface Device for Monitoring Aquaculture Farm

Maritime mobile device with sensor payload capable of surveying and monitoring seaweed farm from surface and underwater. To produce to new sources of water quality and species growth data, collection, and analysis for critical decision support and waterborne disease control useful to measure production yield and quality of harvest.

Prof. Oladokun Sulaiman Olanrewaju.He has conducted studied studies on Safety/ Environmental Risk and Reliability for Maritime, offshore marine aquaculture, and Ocean Systems. He authored 180 peer-reviewed journals and 12 books

Monitoring of seaweed farm  and water quality condition

Detect  and analyse overgrown seaweed that can be destroyed by disease, water quality, invasive species 

Keep plant and harvest records

Control climate change and biodiversity

Nature restoration 

The solution will benefit future aquaculture farmers and  user of seaweed, Government. It Guarantee for supply to continue to meet demand and Improve water quality and conservation of sea space body.

The solution contributes to the global food problem caused by an increasing world population.

 Scientists can benefit from collecting data from the air and from the water on the condition of the sea in order to study the condition or changes in the state of the sea.

The solution will provide safety regime for further exploration of the ocean 

The solution will provide healthy water resources, species and yield of biobased products

The solution will provide  positive for food security, heathy ecosystem and Management of species

The pilot will laid foundation for replication for production farm monitoring  and wider use by society everywhere to control aquatic disease and improve yield.

Within the first year, the focus is to find and design different technologies. The impact will increase by field tests the year after. Product development and implementation of AI-supported evaluation software is planned for the following year.

The volume of data  and the translation of those data to safety, yield and health benefit 

Funding

The development of new technologies requires an investment. Special permits are required for the operation of UAVs or AUVs, as maritime environments represent a sensitive ecosystem. This requires the demonstration of a safe system or even a specific certification. For product development, existing facilities need to be expanded, new machines procured and personnel hired. This exceeds the development budget of smaller companies and can therefore only be achieved with the help of financial support.
