European Marine Robotics and Applications Workshop (EMRA) is an interdisciplinary workshop where the main EU funded projects in the field of marine robotics are invited to present their latest developments. The goal of the workshop is to generate cross-fertilisation of ideas in marine robotics, enabling technologies and applications with the aim of generating new collaborations
On May 16-17, the Korea Institute of Ocean Science & Technology (KIOST) in Busan hosted the First Korea-Spain Oceanographic Symposium. This initiative focused on advancing technologies and methodologies for monitoring marine protected areas. Spanish research activities in the framework of funded EU and national projects such as DIGI4ECO, LIFE-ECOREST and PLOME were presented. This activity

The PLOME project has tested new technologies that will allow the deployment of stations and vehicles to monitor the marine environment and provide real-time data. The experiments have been conducted along the Catalan coast at depths of up to 350 meters. The project is led by the University of Girona, with participation from the UPC,
The Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) is one of the most important fishery items for the EU blue economy. The coopearation between ICM-CSIC and UiB allowed the elaboration of a software architecture based on YOLOv5, to identify and count Nephrops and estimate the numbers of its individuals per m2 (i.e., stock density) in deep-sea (350-380 m
The blue economy is a relatively recent concept that we could define as the economy that recognizes the importance of the seas and oceans as drivers of the economy due to their great potential for innovation and growth. This year, PLOME members participated in one activity organized in Catalonia called the “Blue Economy Marketplace”. It
