RoCHE – Environmental Maritime Robotics - Case Study

The Aquatic Drones project is focused on the use of such drones for exploring martime heritage, surveillance, Environmental/biodiversity monitoring and preservation and protection  of maritime infrasructure. A demonstration project is developed with Dutch (Zeeland), Belgian and Italian partners. Just prior to the Blue Investment Seminar of DG Mare, a workshop was organised with participation of European Environmental Stakeholders and JPI Ocean to introduce these stakeholders to aquatic robotic and drone technology that in a cost-efficient way can monitor (INDYMO, Aquatic Drones) and even remove plastics from marine environments (RanMarine).
