DEPLOYING NEW TECHNOLOGIES, TOGETHER

To increase observing capacity, LandSeaLot researchers and affiliated community partners are testing and validating cost-effective technology: affordable, easy to use sensors and other devices for gathering marine and coastal data.

This technology makes it easier than ever for more people to observe the natural world. In the initial stages of the project, researchers, citizens and civil society will engage in training, testing and exchanging knowledge with LandSeaLot researchers. The resulting data will be used by project partners and fed into European marine open data services, namely EMODnet, for future use. These activities are laying the groundwork for significant public participation in scientific research on an international scale, building observation capacity and knowledge in the long term.
