New sensors paint real-time picture of ocean health:
The EU-funded COMMON SENSE project developed and tested a new generation of autonomous marine monitoring sensors that require far less upkeep while providing scientists with a wealth of data on issues such the oversupply of nutrients known as eutrophication, heavy metal concentrations, microplastics and underwater noise.
This project aims to contribute to the challenge the pollution that currently the Marine ecosystems have to coexist with and the loss in the marine fauna due to the climate change.
