Our Mission : Aquasmart Offshore

-
Measure important environmental parameters for regulatory & food safety purposes.
-
Improve viability of offshore farms deployed in high-energy sea conditions.
-
Supply the Aquasmart Offshore system as a world-class product to offshore farmers & other groups who can apply & use the system.
-
The array data also provides an early warning system for offshore farmers. It monitors stability of deployed farm equipment & assists with equipment tracing & retrieval if needed.
Enable effective, real-time remote monitoring of water quality at offshore farms.
What is Aquasmart Offshore?
-
Aquasmart Offshore is being developed in partnership with a leading UK marine technology company. The system is made up of two parts, an ‘on-site’ array & software package.
-
An ‘on-site’ array remotely monitors a range of environmental factors.
-
Combined, the array data can give an accurate, real-time indication of water quality in the vicinity of offshore seaweed, shellfish & fish farms.
-
The array data feeds into an innovative ‘easy-interface’ software package (app).
-
This allows farmers to monitor their farm status at any given time or can help researchers to collect high resolution & continuous site data.
-
It is currently at the prototype stage which will be tested on real-world seaweed, shellfish & fish farms.
