Description

Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop a new observation method for use in future oceanographic biological survey. The demonstration will be a software system capable of categorising marine biological species, genera and larger groups. The project will also develop calibration techniques and standards for a new class of marine observation method and for its impact on biological survey, b) to develop training methods for marine scientists and technicians in the use of this new methodology and to establish sites of competence within the EU, c) to integrate the data obtained from this methodology into establishing standard techniques for handling marine data suitable for programmes such as EuroGOOS and d) to show that the system is robust and reliable.
